Dr Lese was a second consult because the first doctor I saw there was very off-putting and rude. She took the time to explain what was going on and what had happened in my last couple visits. More time than I would have expected and more time. What have been necessary had the original doctor done his job

Felt very condescending overall. Felt like she was annoyed, maybe having a bad day. Still, I will seek help elsewhere.
