I don't think that they get the information that they need to associate with my health records. I was asking them did they get the feedback from my cardiologist to ask a question about my regular health. And we need to communicate more with other doctors in the group about what patients are being treated for. Thank you.

Dr V is a Dr that cares about her patients. She remembered an episode I had a month ago with BP and she and her nurse didn't leave till the got it down enough for me to go home with something caution. On this visit that is the first thing she asked me about

I came for a bone density scan. I wait an hour in the waiting room, only to be informed that the camera wasn't working. I was given a choice of getting the first half done there and go to another for the scan or to reschedule. After sitting for an hour, I chose to reschedule. I wonder why it took an hour to tell me the machine was not working.

Having to verify your address is a privacy is an issue for me. A simple question would suffice. "Are there any changes?"
