Just saw this guy today and I agree, waited forever (and no one really ever knew why),didn't look at me once, not sure what I was even told and given a wide variety of things that could be wrong. I am tempted to think he was googling these answers while not looking at me. The nurse was a sweetheart though

After my first appointment, I left unsure of what he would do for me. It took him so long to see me, his staff had gone. So I call next day found out I was getting a battery of test. When I returned for results he went through the list, said everything was fine but ABSOLUTELY no regard to issues that caused me to be referred to him or anxiety a person has just going to an Oncologist. He was in a hurry to exit and he gave no other options. His office staff are WONDERFUL, they deserve 5 stars, but he is nothing special except in his own mind.

Told my wife He Thought She Had Cancer (app 40 times), never said that is why he ordered many tests to determine IF SHE HAD CANCER OR NOT, then said if all test are negative HE thought she still had caner. Thankfully when the last batch results came in, He was on vacation & they went to our family Doctor who said their was no indication of cancer on any of the test. Went to a different ONCOLOGIST who also reviewed all the tests and said THEIR WAS NO CANCER, BEWARE!!!!!!!! (One star because their wasn't any lower rating)

Be prepared to sit for 2 hours or more. Appointments are NEVER on time. They make too many appointments for one day and they are too close together. Plus he orders lots and lots of tests some of which may not even be necessary.

When you meet him he gives you the same speech he does everyone. He is a machine with no compassion. When a patient has cancer all over and the Doctor doesn't not remember to give him pain medication 3 days before he dies????? He ignores the patient and trust me go else where. When you watch this Doctor in work you will realize that he doesn't even know the signs of death. All he worries about is the next appointment and that is just a waste of time.
