Dr. French is great. I trust him with my care. However, he seems to, he has too many patients on his load because he's always in a rush, and oftentimes doesn't spend enough time, and he doesn't, isn't able to answer all of my questions because he has to run to the next patient. It seems to me that this is a WellSTAR problem and not a Dr. French problem, though. Dr. French is great. It's just y'all are giving him too many patients.
