Dr. Bruce Hough, MD

Dr. Hough is very arrogant. I didn't understand his answers about a certain test I had and told him I thought the result was different. He looked at me hard and said: "Are you questioning ME?" Not compassionate to a person who has been diagnosed with a new cancer for the third time. I agree with the person who said he shouldn't be dealing with patients, he should be doing research or something else.

I have NO idea how this man is a doctor. He has the WORST bedside manner. Do not even THINK of asking any questions, because he will act like you're beneath him and wasting his precious time. My Mother passed away 3 weeks ago. Obviously I am not blaming him for her death, but in a patient's last months, he definitely should learn to have more empathy. The best I can describe him is Alec Baldwin on Malice. Google "I am God, Malice." That is a perfect representation.

Hough treated a family member briefly for cancer before she passed a while back. He had quite possibly one of THE worse bedside manners I've ever encountered in a doctor (and this is an oncologist dealing with dying people!) The other doctors at the hospitals and rehab were SO much better. Hough was arrogant and pompous, and he sarcastically and condescendingly addressed my cousin and I like we were children when we had the gall to ask clarifying follow up questions about treatment options. We were just kind of gobsmacked by every experience with him (our family member who was sick was too stunned by her diagnosis to even notice how awful he was). Even a couple of the nurses at the hospital whispered to us that they couldn't stand him. He needs to go back to research work instead of clinical work. We switched oncologists to Dr. Rachna Raman who was wonderful and VERY compassionate. Perhaps Hough has improved in the time since we knew him but I would never, ever recommend him.
