He realizes he may have been lax in his decorum and too familiar with me and meant nothing inappropriate, and was extremely sorry he put me in a position that made me uneasy and he understood if I wanted to see another doctor, and/or report him. I told him that 2/

I had to think about what I wanted to do. Then I called his nurse & PA, and they were both shocked and said in 10 & 8 years neither have heard a complaint or anything untoward about him.
