After two visits I was no better off. Had to consult another doctor to get proper treatment.

I just had hiatal hernia surgery. He diagnosed me with LPR and gave me flonase and prilosec 2x a day. When I voiced concern about being on PPIs long term he didn't care. Arrogant and condescending. One time he had a med student and just sat there as I tried to explain I wanted something else done. Seemed like he cared more about impressing her. Now that I moved and dont have good insurance anymore I am going to have to pay my $3k deductible for this surgery. If he wasnt so incompetent then maybe this could have been resolved 10 months ago. If I could I'd give him negative stars. Plus his staff billed my secondary ins then sent me bill for difference in copay. Had them refill primary then they didn't bill secondary and told me it was too late and my fault cuz I didn't list secondary on my form. Well obviously u had the info cuz u billed them!

All docs are rushed and I had to wait a bit but he is friendly and not rushed when he is with you.

I had this weird throat concern, but he put me on some medicine and it all went away. I would return in a heart beat if something else was wrong.

Say what you want about doctors...he seems like a normal guy. Good sense of humor, yet still professional. I wil return if I have another problem.
