    The provider offered no information about my condition, expressed little care for my concerns, and was generally unhelpful. I had messaged in MyChart asking for a stronger prescription medication to treat my condition, and the provider required that I come into the office to discuss what they stated were a variety of options for treatment. After driving 35 minutes to the clinic location, and waiting 27 minutes past my appointment time to be seen, I was subjected to a very casual, offhand, 12 minute conversation where she glossed over available pharmaceutical treatment options that are unnecessary for me, which she acknowledged when I asked more specific questions. I asked about laser treatment - which she had shared via message as an option, but did not mention in the conversation- only to be told that, yes, that is the treatment that would be best for me and would immediately solve the problem, but it is no longer offered by OSU because "the machine broke and they're not going to pay to fix it". She did not (or could not) share information about other providers in the area who may have this machine available for patient care, and suggested I "call around". I then asked for the specific prescription medication that I had initially messaged her about so that I could try that while I did the work of finding a way to access the treatment I need, and was told that she didn't think that was made anymore (it is). She then spent the rest of the appointment on her phone, where she googled and then recommended expensive, commercially available, non prescription strength products to try. In the end she prescribed me the medication I had asked for via message, provided no information regarding how to use it or for how long or how to follow up, and sent me on my way. It was the biggest waste of 2 hours and I am no closer to resolving the condition. I look forward to finding a new provider.
