Patient Comments
First time meeting Dr's Foresman and was very disappointed with his demeanor from the moment he walked into the room. He looked at us with an angry expression and abruptly introduced himself and the nurse. [...] He asked If she complained about the abscess and she non/verbal in late stage dementia. As he was leaving the room he said rudely something to the effect of, we won't call you, call us if you need anything. We went through a lot of coordination to get my Mom to this appointment and when it was concluded, we left feeling as though we were an inconvenience [...]. Nothing but frustration was achieved from the appointment.

I think he must have had a bad day. He made me feel stupid and I was wasting his time for "more important issues"
