Worst doctor I’ve ever seen! Kicked my husband and children out of my appointment and told us to find a babysitter. The medical advice I got from him that day was all wrong and dangerous. Saw another doctor the next day who properly treated my infection he refused to treat and also treated my thyroid and adrenal insufficiency which Dr. Demario chose to ignore. I could have died listening to him with a primary immune deficiency I cant play around with infections. He suggested a sleep study. Laughable. Wonder how much of a kick back he gets for each one of those referrals? Avoid at all costs. Mean, miserable doctor who totally ignored dangerous illness even after I pointed it out.

Dr. D has been our primary care doc for over a decade. He is pretty direct on things. Gives good advice and listens to issues and answers all our questions. Some folks say he is rude but the truth is he is straight with you. He's not my therapist or buddy but my doctor and I appreciate his no-nonsense approach. Over the years, he's become more personable. Never rude. He diagnosed different ailments quickly and accurately. His office is clean and organized and the staff is always friendly. The nurses all are great too. Easy to set up appointments, get prescription refills and we don't wait very long to be seen.

Takes time to answer questions, invested in personal service, not quick in and out

My anxiety had been controlled by a new drug (prescribed by an actual psychiatrist) and I was finally healthy. Dr. Demario yelled at me for taking this drug and terrified me about side effects I later discovered were common to all meds. As a result, I had a number of panic attacks because I was now scared of the only drug that had helped me. He refused refill my Rx causing me a terrible two weeks of depression and anxiety. He has no respect for women, and is the meanest doctor I've ever met.

Rude, ignorant and bitter. This guy must do his job purely for the money as he certainly does not seem to enjoy it. His people skills are not existent. Never again will I set foot in that office.
