[...] I have only seen Dr. Peyre on annual follow up visits to discuss findings of my annual CT scan. This visit was spent discussing his concerns on my blood pressure, which he advised he would be contacting my primary about. Only as the doctor was getting ready to leave, did mention of my scan results come up. I was disappointed.
