I had to wait approximately 60 minutes to see the doctor. He apologized for the long wait.

Waited 45 minutes for a virtual appointment, then Dr Sheffman spent only 5 minutes with me. A waste of my time.

Dr Schiffman is very attentive, listens to me and answers my questions to my satisfation. He provides an explanation in medical terms that I understand. He went out of his way to order a test to pursue hard data on my condition. I have an extremely high level of confidence in his knowledge and judgement in pursuit of my best interest.
