Chiming in to agree here...my mom's first doc was just okay, but we felt like we were being hurried through the appointments, spending an hour in half in the waiting room for 5 mins with the doctor. It was also like he was just reciting his notes from the previous visit without ever really getting to know her. She was just another file.

My mom felt guilty or that it was unethical to switch and maybe it was a bit awkward because she chose another doctor in the same practice, in the same office but it was the right move. Her current doctor seems genuine and caring, he listens to her, takes time explaining everything and even holds her hand when they talk. He's funny too and adds a little levity to help break what would otherwise be such a somber and clinical experience.

Good luck and I hope Dean continues to improve!
