Yes, I didn't like that we had no idea that Dr. Hall was no longer at the OU Physicians Building. It made it awkward for the kids and the new doctor and his team were just pretty blunt and not really know how to communicate with kids about what's going on. There's just a lot of demands and then they did a physical without anyone knowing that he was going to do a physical. They just did it on their own and I wasn't in the room. As far as any other questions I had, they had already did the physical and all we came in for was for a checkup about*

Dr. Benson accused us of discontinuing medication without physician oversight. We tried to tell him that that was not the case and he continued to not believe us and when he in fact was the one that guided us on discontinuing a medication and supported our decision to do so and then in this appointment, he became upset with us discontinuing it. Made my daughter feel bad for choosing. Anyway, it was a very poor interaction with him and I'm very disappointed. Also would like to say that the time frame to get referrals out of your system is*
