This doctor has almost no patient discretion especially for someone who has intimate dealings with women. So not professional. I almost felt like I was in a bizarre Seinfeld skit (you know, the dentist who said all those offensive things cause he said he could get away with it?) as pictured in this surreal scenario that happened to me:

Patient [feet up in stirrups] : Umm, so is everything OK doctor?
Doctor: [Looks down]: So...are you Japanese? Chinese? Korean?
My daughter-in-law is Chinese and you kinda remind me of her. She's really nice...
[looks expectantly at patient]

What the hell does my ethnicity have to do with anything? And why mention your daughter-in-law to justify your curiousity? Did I look like a unicorn or something?
It really gave me the creeps and talk about no special intro to that conversational tangent. If that wasn't enough, I was overcharged for my annual office visit: instead of a $20 fee, I had to pay $50. I went home, consulted my paperwork, and went back to ask for my refund. Some of her desk assistants didn't speak English very well and I had to refer to other office clerks. Then I found out I  had to wait like 2 1/2 weeks to get my refund because she only pays out her bills/charges once a month. Would never go back there again.
