My husband and I were both being treated at the same time. We felt he did an excellent job of treating us and caring about our needs. He was straight forward and direct about our conditions. He told us the facts and let us be a part of the decision. He's wonderful.

Dr. Needles is a great doctor and I wouldn't see anyone else. I spent 1 whole summer in the hospital due to a blood disorder that I have. After nursing and other staff told my parents and my husband on two dfferent occasions that "I would Not be leaving the hospital" he brought me back. He does get in a hurry occasionally, but I'm glad that he was in a hurry to get to me. If you have concerns, tell him, and he will spend more time with you....

Spends very little time with patients. Several times I had to remind him of my particular situation and I have seen him 3x in the past month. It is time to move on after several years because I question his medical opinion in his rushed nature.
