My provider is very good. I will note that he may not have had time to review my chart and look at my problem list. I was in for concerns of blood pressure and he seemed unaware that I was on medication that he prescribed for many years. I know providers are human. I think it is just a good reminder to review the chart. They see many patients in a day. Reading the chart and knowing the history is beneficial.
