I had an ophthalmologist who many didn't like personally but he was highly skilled, taught other docs and was an expert witness in court. I figured a few minutes a year for a checkup wouldn't kill me. And over the years, he warmed up, at least to me, probably because I was one of the few who kept coming back! He eventually did two surgeries on me. I figured he was grumpy because he worked in the same office as his wife, an ophthalmologist!
I think a lot of docs are grumpy because the insurance companies are paying less and less. They are also forbidden from using some therapies because they aren't approved even though they work.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and why we all need to be proactive with our health.
