I think I just might search out another doctor because it is just not conducive to good health there.

Also, by the time I see the Doc, I am usually a little upset at having to wait that long to be seen and the rudeness of the people in the waiting room.

Smells? Like medical or human ? That is unsat no matter what the source. You need to get out as soon as possible.

VA or civilian? Could be either I guess. I know my office is clean, nice, polite but the wait can be stressful. Some of us don't like to relinquish control of the situation and that is deleterious.

Yes, interview the new doc, check the wait times before agreeing to be seen. I go out of town as I followed my military doctor to her new TOC. Worth it as she knows me for 20 years, inside and out.


Good luck on your search.
