    Yeah. Doctor I had before, this one, but all he was interested was his computer. He wouldn't look at me. I think this doctor was a lot better. He's a personal doctor, not a computer doctor.

    The front desk people could be 'warmer' and respectful. They could listen (eye-to-eye) to those of us who are elderly and have weaker voices (and ears) especially when coming in when we are ill.
