This Doctor did not listen to my mother's concerns. Infact he misdiagnosed her, repeatedly for years. Her stomach became bloated and rock hard, her white cells high. He told her she was obese and that her smoking resulted in her high cell count. She had pain in her abdomen that became more severe each day until the pain became intolerable for her. A trip to the ER revealed she had stage 4 ovarian cancer, within 6 months my mother died. If you value your life whatsoever seek a different doctor.
