Waited & waited - appt was at 6:00, I was the last patient to leave at 9:00 - sat with his Assistant talking to her about everything we could think of waiting for Dr. Whalen to make his appearance, he came in and gave me the loser sign on my head, asked me what my nationality was ? ? why I don't know. I was there for him to diagnosis me if I had fibromyalgia, he said maybe, sent me home with a script I am not allowed to take if he would have gone over the notes his assistant took. And to top it off, he never sent any diagnosis to any of the two doctors that requested I see him. What a waste of time!
