I like having MD Hood and understand that he is busy. My suggestion is that when he is not going to come back into the room he let's you know that instead of saying let me get the paperwork for you. Just say see you next visit or some closing statement.

My physician is skilled and has a lot of knowledge. The greatest attribute about him is that he cares for all patients and he has helped me. But, I rarely get to see him for my appointments. He always stays booked up. That is great for him but it is not for me. I do not get to see him all the time.
Thankful to be able to talk with a doctor so quickly.
I understood the treatment proposal would come after the XRAYs would be done that day. The area needed to be examined before proceeding with next step. I just hurt in the meantime till I hear further, and get meds for 'script Dr. Hood sent to CVS.

Dr. Hood had to fill out disability forms and a Fitness for Duty form. I apologized because the disability form was 4 pages long. This sort of requirement from my employer's disability department may have caused him to see his other patients late, but he remained patient and professional and thoroughly answer every question. Every time I leave his office, I feel confident that he truly cares for his patients and that we are not just numbers to him.
