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.

I would have to agree with most of the people and the negative reviews. He does not even try to speak so u can understand him. He interups and talks about things that have nothing to do with your problems. Worse than that is his staff inability to perform their jobs. They told him that it took a long time to get ins approvals foe my testing. APPROVALS WERE NOT REQUIRED. IT TOOK FROM FEB TO SEPT TO FI ALLY GET RESULTS. he was more concerned that i needed to do things that had nothing to do with my original visit. I had to almost yell at him to get him to listrn to me.

Horrible. This tool shed is the most arrogant fool to ever treat my wife who has serious neurological issues. If he would take time to actually look at her history... maybe he wouldn't be such a crappy doctor.

He works at CoxHealth Pain & Neurology center in Branson, MO now. I liked the doctor he wasn't in a rush, answered all of my questions and also gave me something for my pain while we do tests, and he wasn't rude. I had to wait 3 months for an appointment then they called me and said that they had to reschedule it for an unknown reason and that their next opening wasn't for another 2 months! That's unacceptable! It seems like they put me at the back of the list, and the staff couldn't care less.

I would not recommend this man to no-one he doesn't listen to what you are saying he seems to only care about putting you on meds that he won't explain what they are for. He is very rude this last visit he ask me what do I want him to do about my seizures because I don't have enough of them a day so he don't know what to call my condition because I only have seizures once a month every month for over a year now but he wants me to continue taking meds that is not working

He does not listen to patient's concern and does not seem to even respect the patient's complaints. He does not present a professional physician's attitude or record keeping. The patient should not feel belittled to the point of crying each time they leave the office. After any tests were run there was no follow up call from his office as to the results and when called it took forever for the results to be even found and then just a quick answer from the the nurse. The Dr. never addressed them
