Having worked with dozens of surgeons...often the best skilled surgeons have the worse people skills. This line spreads exponentially when the typical demographic of a patient moves towards negative outcomes. If you had a referral to him - presumably there was a diagnosis (backed up with medical imaging - CT/MRI/Ultrasound).
Did you want him to reaffirm what you already knew? Ask how your grand kids little league was going? Or, simply fix you?
