Consultation review: it comes down to communication skills...

I had a consult with this doctor. What can I say...She is, very likely, a knowlegable and decent physician. However, I don't remember anyone who'd speak to me in such a condescending and disrespectful manner, as this doctor. I am a clinician with Doctorate degree myself ( I didn't mention it at the consult, and downplayed my expertise as much as I could)- can't imagine speaking in such a condescending manner to my patients, ever. Or anyone, to be honest, unless there is a very good reason to behave this way. I was unpleasantly surprised, particularly because reviewes mentioned that she was " nice" and "pleasant"... Again, she might be an absolutely fantastic surgeon. However, her communication skills are quite a turn off.
