[...] The attending or supervising physician (O'Keefe) was arrogant to the point of being just short of rude. Zero empathy, I felt like he was just trying to get me out of the clinic. He would get 2s.

I had a good experience with [...] and Dr. O'Keefe. One good point I would like to mention here is that both of the healthcare providers were considerate of my time and gave a thorough explanation of future course of treatment.

[...] Dr. O'Keefe finally came in and he agreed to the plan, but I found him really dismissive of me; and he seemed really distracted.
