This dr does not listen. He would not answer my questions, just tell me what he already planned on saying. And the receptionist is so unprofessional. Rude and condescending. I wanted to strangle her. And the whole time you're waiting to see the Dr. you hear her loud mouth going on and complaing about everything. It was absurd.

I have referred many people to this wonderful doctor!!! Compassionate, caring and listens to a person, not a patient.

The worst doctor I have ever experienced. He seemed completely uninterested in helping me with my migraine problem. He was dismissive and unhelpful. I'm glad that I was able to find a competent and helpful doctor elsewhere.

the Dr is great, courteous and professional. The one receptionist/nurse or whatever she is, is about as rude as one could get. Totally unprofessional and if it wasn't for the Dr himself would've left long ago.
