Dr Duggan seemed almost annoyed at having to meet w/me. Initially, I tried connecting' w/him and he was quite aloof, almost dismissive, responding in short, clipped responses to my question/comnents

The only complaint I have is that I felt rushed by the Dr. I feel that I didn't get to ask all my questions, I had notes and didn't have chance to review them. He was very kind. For me, being a retired/disabled RN, I had a little bit more of in depth questions to ask, anatomically wise.
