I had to wait an hour to be seen, and Dr. Giannelli rushed the appointment and looked visibly annoyed by my questions. I wanted to ask another question, and he left as I tried to ask. Very rude and unprofessional, and never asked me any questions. He also kept describing things in medical terms rather than clarifying what they meant.
