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.

Please use caution with this doctor.
He treated my 78 year old mom who had lung cancer. At one point, my dad and I asked to see him separately as we were concerned she was seeming to become depressed. We expressed that she might benefit from an anti-depressant. He stated that it was all done then and that she was through. That if was over. (WHAT?! She was simply adjusting to treatment and some rough days.)I will NEVER forget him bringing her into the room and demanding if she felt discouraged or down. If she wanted to quit treatment. She struggled to focus, and told him what he wanted to hear. That she was just fine. He left her with awful feelings of letting everyone down. Really made things rough. She eventually had a tumor removal surgery. Her surgeon (5 star rating from 500 people, and phenomenal man) whispered to me to be VERY careful of this guy. That he does not put patients first, and can be unprofessional. Nurses in the ICU told me to be very cautious. Wish we had known before her treatments.

Doesn't bother to see his patients personally. He has a physician's assistant to do that. Doesn't offer any new procedures. Very depressing to be tossed away. Do not recommend. Will be seeing a new doctor who might actually care enough to help.

He is awful! If your case gets complicated he sends you away. The office wait time is more than an hour! He is never on time and when he finally sees you he is on a hurry. He has an MA see you and make all the decisions. She is not even a nurse, no experience. Do not recommend him. He is not even board certified
