I felt hurried. He spoke very fast.

The doctor did let me know of my choices for treatment to allow me to make an informed decision. I am concerned that when I told him I started a new medication he didn't ask me what the medication was, didn't go over my list of medications or talk about my other health conditions and if they would play a role in the current problem. The entire time I was with him was less than 10 minutes and it did not feel like a lot of time was spent acquiring information. I'm not sure if he even saw that I have other health problems. The appointment was very fast.

Dr McDonald was very professional and offered several different options to review. He was wonderful at showing me what was occurring with the kidney stones by a visual picture and was good at explaining what was happening.

Good first meeting. Doctor seemed a little perturbed when I chose to review my previous experience with the two previous providers for this urology problem provided by NAH, but we got to where we needed to get in the appointment.

It was all good but I felt like the Doctor had a hot date to get too. I think I was his last appointment of the day so there's that.
