I have seen Dr. Newbold on a few occassions now (twice in the past month), and I can say with certainty I will never see him again. On the first of my two recent visits I waited for over an hour before I saw the doctor. I had two problems to tell him about. He wrote me a prescription for the first problem. When I told him I've had this same prescription before and it was ineffective, he told me to try it again rather give me something stronger or different. As for the other problem, he acted as though I was making it up. He ""couldn't see anything wrong"" and told me to come back in two weeks and he would check on it then. This all took about 5 minutes by the way.

I came back for the second visit. This time I only waited 45 minutes before I saw Dr. Newbold. He looked at my first problem and was surprised that it hadn't gone away yet. Suddenly he thought that maybe I should have used something stronger. And my second problem... he didn't even look at it! He said I should see a specialist and gave me a referral. Without even any evaluating or asking or looking or guessing.... nothing. Again he did not listen to me or give me any sense that he cared to fix my problem. This time he saw me for a total of one minute.

So, to sum up, I had to pay for one visit so that I could buy a prescription that didn't work, then I came back, paid for a second visit where the doctor did nothing that he couldn't have done on my first visit, and if i really want my problem to go away, I'll have to go back to pay for a third visit and a second prescription. And I sat in a waiting room for nearly two hours. He must love a customer like me - paying the same as everyone else while he doesn't actually have to do anything.

To clarify: I don't know anything about the other doctors. This is just abotu Dr. Newbold. The staff was mostly good, but theres a thin lady with short blonde hair who sits at the desk you exit and pay at, and she will be heartless and annoyed by your presence
Pros: unknown
Cons: the general existence of this establishment
