  • I came to see Dr. Rosen for a second opinion on a somewhat complicated cardiac situation/issue slash diagnosis and I was very disappointed that she had not seemed to have read all of the detailed notes from another provider and hospital before my session. So unfortunately, I feel like we wasted a lot of time and she was very frustrated because I had to kind of go back and explain what's already in the notes before we could even move forward with her opinion. I feel like her communication was not very good in terms of listening to me and really allowing me to explain things in the best detail that I could. She was running very behind. She seemed a little rushed and irritated. She did spend extra time with me. We did have a good plan moving forward, but the dynamic, quite frankly, was a little strange.
