Does not know how to interact with his patients in a professional manner. He reminds me of an immature child.

14 years a patient. He is the best doctor in this area. His medical mgt skills are exemplary. Negative reviews often come from patients who have been non-compliant. He doesn't tolerate that well....and shouldn't. No one in our family has ever been directed wrongly....have the highest esteem for him and his staff, and have full trust in his knowledge and management of my health.

He should not be practicing as a physician. He is rude, disrespectful and belittling to his patients. He does not address your concerns but dismisses them while basically laughing in your face.

Watch out for this doctor,he needs to go back to Medical School for a refresher course! Don't even dare ask him a question you will be belittled no matter who you are, or what you think you know!
