Good [Names]
Providence Patient
Dr. Way was abrupt and it felt like he was in a rush to be done with my appointment. Not good "bedside manners."
Providence Patient
Dt Way's speaking voice is very quiet/soft. I had some difficulty hearing him. He ordered a new blood test for me which I was able to get the same day.
Providence Patient
I went to the neurologist to get a more specific diagnosis and plan for my tremors than my regular doctor could give me. I left feeling the same, with not much useful information, and felt that in the 15-20 minutes with the doctor I didn't get my problems across very well. I will probably not return, and try another doctor at a later time.
Providence Patient
Provider knew what to do about my Restless Legs Syndrome. He also let me get help with this issue even though the referral to him was for myoclonic jerks which was no longer an issue. He did have a little trouble with thinking my Wellbutrin helped with serotonin which it does not.
Providence Patient
Very pleased.
