I waited for more than 1.5 hiurs to see this doctor; had snother doctors appointment so left and came back for them to "work me in" Dr Hamad is good at itExplaining the problem and did work with me on decisions on handling the problem. But he is not good at helping with The follow up. With me he was nit interested in seeing my case through to the conclusion of diagnosis. I am writing a complaint g a letter to go into detail about this. I won't use him again.
