Love Dr. Buck-Patterson
I've been to my pcp twice for A sick visit 2024 and 2025 each time there were no supplies to test me for Flu or Covid. I find it frustrating that I can't have these test done when I'm sick because you are out of supplies. What's the point of contact your pcp first? I might as well go to urgent care. I end up testing positive for Covid and had to take more steps while being sick to find that out because my pcp office didnt have supples. We are already sick our pcp should be able to do POC testing for there patients.
Dr. B-P's concern and care is always comforting.
Dr. B was patient and provided options and listened to my concerns.
