12/02/2025

Assistant entered first - took all info -asked a few questions - said Dr would b in shortly- then I waited and waited and waited some - I’m assuming assistant is telling him everything I told her while I’m waiting in the room… I opened the door to see if someone could help me. He came in shortly after that . I could have told him the same things I told her as the same time and encountered less waiting time
