Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

UGH
He obviously did not read my chart. He was totally unprepared and unable to answer my questions. Very rushed, he wanted to give me pat answers regarding allergies (I wasn't concerned with them, as I manage them well on my own}. The pertinent questions regarding my labs and symptoms were brushed off without being addressed. He ordered more blood work, even though I had it done last week at a premier facility, says they might have made an error during collection. I had to insist that he come back to the exam room after the appointment to answer my questions and write prescriptions we discussed. Definitely do not recommend.

He was reading off of the screen for a majority of the appointment and did not listen to concerns. He was rude, cold, and rushed through the new patient appointment. It felt like he was annoyed to be there and had extremely poor bedside manner. When asking questions, he did not listen to answers since he was almost berating when I responded that I am not using sexual protection, but did not listen to the previous responses explaining that I am going through fertility treatment.

Quack. I went in complaining of dizziness and he suspended my drivers license with no explanation. First time in 43 years I've went to the doctor complaining of dizziness. Interrupts, bad bedside manner. Worst doctor I have ever visited.

Very unfriendly and doesn't listen. Tried to explain my symptoms and was constantly int erupted. Terrible experience. This has to be one of the worst doctors I ever went to. I wouldn't recommend this doctor to no one.

He's a good Dr. He calls me back and not a nurse , he needs to listen a little better other than that I really like him so far he does take care of me and he's really on top of your health for the most part, he just needs to listen more can't be a great doctor if you don't know what's wrong
