This was my first and last appointment. The first thing he did was to express to me that he did not like my weight, and made me feel like dog droppings. He came right out and said that he will not help me because of my weight.

He has been very helpful. He has been following my tumor since 2013. He has always taken the time to explain the results of my MRI. He makes sure to explain in detail and a way that I leave the office with full knowledge of my tumor, type, size and treatment options. I do highly recommend him.
