Review content:
After moving, I switched my PCP to Regan Medical Center, as it was closer to my Gwinnett County home. When I tried to make an appointment at the end of December, I was informed that appointments were not being accepted until January, and that I wanted to see a Doctor I would have to be a walk-in and wait 3 hours. I called again at the end of the first week of January hoping for an appointment, was again told that no appointments were being made and that I would need to be a walk-in, and wait 3 hours. Because I was sick, I did indeed ""walk-in"" on Saturday, January 6th, and after a lengthy wait I was seen by Dr. Wes Tanner. I told Dr. Tanner that I was experiencing dizziness, what felt like sinus preasure (moreso over one eye), blurry and scratchy eyes, and glands that were swollen. I told him that I felt as if I had some sort of sinus or or gland infection. Dr. Tanner immediately informed me that I had ""Migraine Syndrome"", term her had created. I told him that I had suffered occular migraines all my life, due to computer screens, lights, etc., and that this was very different. He told me that they had progressed. He immediately handed me a migraine pill (which did not work), and perscribed that and another medication on a daily basis. He then told me to hop onto his website and buy his new book about the ""Migraine Syndrome"" to see how to get better. After telling him I had mitral valve prolapse, he also called for an Echocardiogram to see if there were any changes. I asked questions about why something "". Dr. Tanner did not tests to check for anything, as he again told me to hop on his website, buy the book, and find the answers. Baffled, I went on to the next room for my Echocardiogram. \r

This utrasound graph of my heart should have only taken 20 - 30 minutes, but instead took over an hour!\r
