Good


Jan 22, 2025

Dr Amezcua is always dismissive about what I tell her so I just omit things that might be relevant because I already know what she's going to say about it. But in the interest of continuity of care I have to see her.

She does not listen and include concerns into treatment

She is the first doctor to completely help me understand my condition and gave me her honest opinion as requested by me
