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.

Inserted long needles with no alcohol wipes!!
When he did the EMG which inserts a small needle about an inch and a half into your muscle, he did not use any alcohol wipes to sanitize the skin. I'm very upset about this. This could cause a very bad infection. Please don't see this doctor.

Beware
Waited months to be seen by this doctor. Appointment lasted approx 8 minutes. Did not read any of my past medical history. Did not listen to any of my concerns. Told me pain is a part of life. Said because I'm fine today there was nothing he could do. Suggested maybe starting anti-depressants and losing weight. Then he just walked out. No follow ups. No testing. Nothing. I drove an hour for a doctor that didn't care.

Believe The 1 Star Reviews
Take note of the 1 star reviews, they summarize what you can expect with this doctor. I have hEds, POTS, etc.. This "Doctor" didn't listen to me, and already had his mind made up that all of my problems are "migraines" and my nervous system. His solution was to put me on a different antidepressant. I have concerns of chiari, CCI/AAI, IIH, etc... which are COMMON comorbidities with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I requested an upright MRI and he point blank told me that he would not order one for me and basically told me that I've already seen so many specialists and that I'm not a "unique" case. I felt very unheard and frustrated that this man is so close minded. Neurologist? I felt like I was meeting with a psychiatrist. If you want to have all concerns ignored and to be made to feel like a hypochondriac, this man is the doctor for you. Our medical system will be one step ahead if this man would just choose to retire. He clearly is set in his ways and does not care to truly hear his patients

He didn't listen to me when I was trying to tell what I was experiencing. I read his reviews on my chart and sounded like he sW a totally different person. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Wouldn't listen to anything I said. Now I have nerve damage in my arm from him not willing to let me speak. I actually had vitamin b6 toxicity. I hope because of his "I KNOW IT ALL" attitude I don't lose all function in my arm.

Waited 8 months to see him. At my appointment he says he hasn't even read my medical records!! Looked at me and had me walk in a straight line then says he can't help me!!?? Wasted 8 months when I could have been looking for another doctor who would at least look at the medical records.

He didn't listen to me when I tried to explain what was going on. I had a reverse reaction to gabapentin which came on suddenly after increasing the dose. I began sighing constantly & was so "hyped," I couldn't sit down even after quickly titrating off the med. I told Dr. C I was not usually an anxious person. He said, “What do you mean, you’re not anxious! Look at you!" I found him to be very condescending & haughty. I couldn't get a proper diagnosis as he didn't consider my symptoms valid

Never listened to my concerns. Arrogant. Self-serving. Diagnosed me but never followed up with any of my concerns. Kept pushing drugs instead of addressing. Left me in the room crying. Won’t go back ever. If you want a Dr. with an ego that doesn’t listen. He’s your Doctor.
