No smile. No bedside manner. Personality of a cold rock. I worked hard at getting him to smile. I want a different doctor.

I needed to reestablish with a Primary Care Physician and chose Dr. Brar. He was well-prepared, having read over my (extensive) medical records.

The physician could be a little more sociable--seems cold and removed. [...] We patients put a lot of trust in our doctors, we should feel an actual human bond, and that the doctor is truly interested in our well being.

Worst Doctor's visit I have ever had. He came in and just stared at me like I was something stuck to his shoe. Rushed through a few questions then left, saying someone else would come finish up and closing the door behind him. I waited half an hour, forgotten or ignored before finally just leaving. Wont be back, wish I could give zero stars.
