My mom went to him today on a referral. He was disrespectful with every question she asked to the point that she was afraid to ask a “wrong question” that would cause a harsh response. He was so rude, he wouldn’t even give her guidance if he didn’t know the answer. She asked if her insurance would cover her prescription and instead of saying he would check on it, he said, “I don’t know, I’m not your pharmacist!” When she left, she was in tears! I wouldn’t go to him unless you like verbal abuse and condescending answers filled with lots of attitude!

Dr Wood removed the gall badder in my 79 yr old mother and she had no problems afterwards. I think he and his nurse are great and seen to spend time listening to their patients. How refreshing in this day and time. I will recommend him highly.
