    PCP is in office part-time so most times I saw NP instead. NP gave little guidance on GLP1 she prescribed, & I was on still on starter dose 4 months later when it should've been updosed after 30 days. Also today PCP didn't discuss several conditions present on problem list at last visit (with NP), yet After Visit Summary stated they were addressed today, nor was today's HBP mentioned. Visits here could be more thorough. Always feel rushed.
