I am very displeased with the quality of doctor care I receive. As an 83 year old patient, I expect for the doctor to have some patience as I explain my ailments. However, quite often I'm not given the opportunity to explain anything. Currently, I have a chafing sore that I have consistently been requesting treatment for, that after an entire year my primary care physician STILL has not even looked at. While I understand I may be seeing a nurse practitioner at times, I very rarely see my primary care physician. She is completely out of touch with me as a patient. I believe that when people choose to treat elderly people, they should be prepared through training with an appropriate bedside manner. While a 25 year old patient may be able to explain their issues in under 5 minutes; an 83 year old patient may need more patience to achieve the same goal. These are not $20 services being rendered. Just the doctor themselves receive more than $100, yet they don't spend more than 10 minutes with me. Additionally, my primary care physician stops medications I have been on for a long time and I don't find out until I go to pick up my refill. Quite often, she will haggle for a generic brand. All of these issues have made my experience as a patient with Bond Clinic unfavorable.
