      The visit started 15 minutes late, so I had waited for 45 minutes. I wasn't informed about any delays from the front desk. This made the visit feel a bit rushed. Also, I brought a form to be filled out that I really needed completed, and he wasn't able to quickly complete it. The provider's strengths are his responsiveness on MyChart and general demeanor. He is pleasant and likeable but sometimes doesn't fully understand all my needs like some other providers do. I'd still return to him because I am getting used to his nuances and because I believe he's knowledgeable.
