Our Nurse Practioner that we loved retired last month. My Husband went to the CFFH saw the Doctor literally for 5 minutes and was prescribed Prozac. Very unprofessional not to spend a little more time getting to know your new patient. My Husband was very disappointed. It's all good I set him up with a HFA H doctor.
