    Didn't quite hear us right when we were describing our past experience with another doctor, or the type of surgeon we were wanting. I messaged him to offer corrections to his appointment notes.

    The practice was behind, Dr. Yarter was running late, and he did not have much time to discuss my concerns.

    I am impressed that he remembers me from visit to visit since I don't come in that often. I had just gotten my haircut then day before and he noticed it and said oh something's new. That impressed me a lot.

    The last time I filled out one of these surveys was over 3 years ago, also for Dr. Yarter. In that survey I was very dissatisfied with his service and "bedside manner" That was absolutely NOT the case this time. This visit was a complete 180 from how I remembered him last time. At my visit yesterday he showed genuine care for my health and my personal well being and left me feeling deeply satisfied with my overall medical care at Rockwood. I had honestly been considering asking for a new primary care physician before yesterday, but I am very happy with Dr. Yarter's service and will be sticking with him moving forward. Many thanks to him and all of the staff at Rockwood.

    The concern Christopher showed for my concerns and worries was Very Good. Explanations Christopher gave me about my problem was Very Good. The efforts Christopher used to include me in my treatment decisions and options was Very Good. The likelihood of my recommending Christopher to others in Very Good.

    This was my fourth annual Medicare checkup. I find the exam moderately enlightening. Much of the time was spent reviewing medical history (both mine and my family's) which hasn't changed from year to year. Would prefer to focus on the future -- a plan for navigating my seventh decade, along with recommendations Perhaps you could prepare a handout with changes to expect and how to recognize/mitigate them.
