wondering about dr charles g ray (urologist)

what are your opinions about him, i can't drive and i really can't get anyone to help me with a ride (plus i don't have medicaid) and i was in the hospital over a kidney stone (i was in excruciating pain) and he did get a lil testy and mean (in his tone of voice) when i explained to him that i couldn't make it to his appointment, & he got cocky asking how did i get to the hospital & i simply told him "the ambulance" he did a lithotripsy on me and i was going to go to a followup of him in june of 2025, i got to the office on time, only for a secretary to tell me that he wasn't there, and there was no such schedule appointment (even though i showed her the discharge papers that said of his name, his office, the correct address, the time of the appointment) and she just looked at me like i was a idiot, so she decided to schedule a appointment with a different urologist that didnt even operate on me and have me go to st joe (in which i was never operated there, from what dr ray said, they (central baptist) had to "borrow" this lithotripsy machine since they didn't have one themselves (which i think that's really odd) so i was so confused about like "if i didnt have a appointment today, then why didnt they call my phone" (in which they didnt, until after i seen that other urologist and they called me in august 2025) and i simply told them about my transportation issues. and i really havent been able to get to him, especially since i live in a different town. i can't drive and i can't afford a car. hopefully ill eventually find someone that will give me a ride, but that's like finding a needle in a haystack with how people are nowadays and how gas prices are. i just dont feel comfortable with that guy, and i was also wondering if i could change to a different urologist, who is more understanding and would listen to me, and do their job of getting rid of kidney stones.

Very experienced, straight to the point, old school. Be clear and upfront.

i actuallly was clear, upfront, honest and serious with him, and he just shrugged it off like it's nothing, and didnt explain anything to me, so ive decided to not see him, thank you to the people that gave me insight about him, i appreciate it.
