Waiting time was absolutely unacceptable. No explanation from staff of wait time, no offer to reschedule after 1 hour wait. While the doctor may be good, if you get to see him, the staff really needs to improve patient relations.

I went to the first appointment, to which he was late. He had to reschedule three times for my follow-up appt each reschedule took two weeks. He forgot to bring the x-rays to my first appt so he really wasn't able to determine my condition. He rolled his eyes when I was answering a question. He put me on steriods, but after two months of his rescheduling I figured it wouldn't be worth the trip because he would not be able to determine if the round of steriods would have been helpful. I canceled the final appt that was scheduled. If I am going to pay for an appt, I want to be seen by a competent and caring doc.
