I liked this doctor, but when I developed a cough that lasted a month, and my chest x-ray came back normal, no follow up call or appointment was made. When the cough lasted a second month, I called the office and again a chest x-ray was ordered and again it came back normal and no call was made to me advising me what to do next. On my own I went to a pulmonologist (nothing came up there) and then to a allergist (nothing came up there) I have to assume these results came across Dr. Turcan’s desk and no one reached out to me. It was a receptionist at the pulmonologist’s office who sugggested I try a third specialist, an ENT. Success at last (THANKS TO A RECEPTIONIST!!) After 2 chest x-rays, and 3 specialists I found out I have GERD. I am actually rather disappointed in Watson Clinic overall. None of the specialists I saw even suggested a ENT. I found a new doctor because I felt Dr. Turcan should have been a little more proactive in helping me discover why I was coughing for months.

Never looks into the real medical problems of patients very quick to push you off to another doctor and then its a battle to get the proper referral always dealing with the secretary's never the doctor
