Patient verified via Press Ganey

The doctor seemed to have no idea why I was there to begin with. I would have thought he would have went over dr notes from who I was referred from. My primary dr recommended I have an endoscopy and colonoscopy. It was a complete waste of everyone's time at this appointment for this doctor to say the same.
