Dr Semenov was professional and thorough, without wasting a minute of my time.
Dr Semenov has always been excellent
He is great, and keeps thing simple to understand. Great guy
Great overall experience.
Kind, considerate, knowledgeable
While I was moved from reception into a treatment room quickly, I waited in the treatment room for what I considered to be an excessive amount of time. I would rather have waited in reception, which is lighter and more comfortable
More time with doctor
Hello. The doctor was very expert, very knowledgeable, and very thorough in his explanations. Obviously, you always get the sense that the doctors are rushed, and I guess there's really nothing you can do about that, but he was definitely totally competent and totally helpful. So those are my comments.
The doctor examined my problem and froze it telling me if it's not better in four weeks to come back.
The doctor was very attentive to my questions. It was clear he was very busy with his schedule and my appointment felt a bit rushed, but he was always professional and kind in his responses and took care to administer the injections in a way that minimized pain and discomfort.
