I asked for a referral for a urologist. He wouldn’t give it to me. I ended up in ER with a large kidney stone that I had surgery for. His office did ultra sound. I never got results. The kidney stone was as large as a quarter. I was in such pain. I also fractured my foot and he would not give me referral for orthopedist. He just wants money. I also had an ultrasound of my neck he never told me why not did I get results. I have since switched primary care doctors. So unfair.

We went to see him when my blood result showed I had hypothyroidism. Rather than explain the condition, he lectured me on weight loss based on wild assumptions about my eating/exercise habits just by looking at me (I eat only 1500 cal/day & workout 5 days/wk). The highlights: telling me to eat a head of cabbage for a meal, that I should restrict my diet to 600 cal/day (no regard for nutrition groups), and telling my husband to "walk" me 10 miles in a day. Highly unprofessional & misinformed.

Such a nice guy. Though I am unsure about his ways. He does not seem efficient. His staff is rude and is not personable. I will be looking for a new doctor.
