Its not the doctor but his administration/staff that is stupid that handles everything like automated robots. Not thinking what is going on per client. I had appointments I never made but were made behind the screen and they never announced anything or give any reason why I had such appointments. I wasted my time and money on showing up for fake appointments due to their incompetent administration. I had to move to somewhere else.
