Dr is never on time. Has referred for 2nd opinions but does not follow up. I feel like I must manage my care. I had a biopsy at his request but they never followed up with results. I had to call them, and they were not even aware they had my results.

His bedside manner is horrible! He left a family member of mine sitting in his own bowel movement, and refused to call in CNA's in the hospital to change him because he did not want to be interrupted until he was done talking, 30 MINUTES LATER! Patient developed a Urinary Tract Infection because of this! Did I forget to mention that the patient was slowly dying besides?
