I would prefer to have a little more contact with the doctor rather than just meeting with the assistant at appointments.

I do not wish to post healthcare and medical information regarding my office visit publicly. So if somebody could give me a call from the office at your convenience I would appreciate it so that I can tell you the reason for my star posting. I thank you for your time and hope to hear from somebody at the office bye
