The doctor is friendly and interested.  However the office staff has changed for the worse over the years.  Originally the nurse was competent and the friendly. Now the nurser and the other person are aloof and detached.

For years on each occasion I have been to this doctor, my Blood Pressure was always read as being around 130/85.  But at all of my specialist offices my blood pressure reads about 120/70 or less. 

Another issue is that it seems that she treats nothing, except with pills.  My leg hurts; take this pill. My headaches; take this pill.  But anything more complex like my hand hurts.  Go see a hand specialist.  My knee hurts.  Go see an orthopedist.  My stomach aches; Go see a gastrointestinologist;  (Who tells you that you have gas). 

And she has no equipment in her office on a higher level than a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff. 
These are some tasks I have had done with other PCP's that she can or will not do:
Take an EKG.
Take a throat sample.  
Remove the stinger from a bee sting.
Remove a splinter.
Cut out an infected insect bite.
Prescribe treatment for back pain. (Not pills.)
Provide a flu shot.
Provide a 1500 calorie diet plan.

On the other hand she was able to get my diabetes under control by increasing the dosage of my meds.
