Having encountered dismissive physicians in Canada, she hoped she would be better supported at home. But her arrival brought fresh disappointment. More than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, Soares’ physicians, friends and family in Brazil had still not heard of long COVID.

The meaning of "dismissive physicians" is not clear to me. It seems to have two different meanings: One refers to that the physicians treated her with contempt; the other refers to that the physicians had no interest in her symptoms of the disease (long COVID) and simply dismissed her (refusing to give her a medical treatment).
It might be both anyways. I am not sure.
What does "dismissive" here mean?
