But it was our first meeting with him. He seemed angry. Maybe having a bad morning. His words werent rude but his tone was short and curse. He explained things, answered questions and drew some out for us. He didnt say why the bypass procedure was the only way to close a hernia. I forgot to ask him why. He was in a hurry to move on. Being appreciative we said thank you as he went down the hallway and we heard him yell back thank you. A most disappointing experience.2/5/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientGood1/18/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientVery through12/13/2024 | BayCare Verified PatientExcellent12/9/2024 | BayCare Verified PatientEveryone was awesome
