    I had filled out the pre-visit questionnaire, and I didn't get a clear sense of whethernot my provider had looked at my responses. This left me unsure of the detail I should go into, and I ended up not bringing up some of the things I had wanted to. I felt hurried and dismissed.

    I am extremely appalled at my experience with Dr. Seok. He was rude and abrasive. He did not ask me anything about what's been going on and cut me off when I tried to explain what's been happening and spoke over me refusing to let me explain my concerns. When I asked questions about my concerns, he waived them off and refused to give me any specific answers. He prescribed a medication without explaining what it is or what it does. He was frankly a huge asshole, and I have already been spreading awareness to others in the community to avoid him at all costs.
