Since 2016, this fantastic doctor has turned my life around. Correct medicine. Friendly. So smart. Kind. If anyone wants a better doctor, there is no one better! I found him when local "head" doctor prescribed lithium & I got my blood work up every 3 months. They did NOT read my labs. Ended up in the hospital with a bit of kidney damage. Plus what it all did to my mind. The first I met Dr.James, I knew! I am with the correct doctor of all times for me! Thank you so much for being the best "head" doctor for me, EVER!

After six years of never missing an appointment, he tried to contact me 3 times with telehealth, but couldn't reach me. He has a STRICT policy of 3x no-shows, and drops you, and he counted the 3 tries to phone me as no-shows... I had had a good experience prior, but he coldly left me without a referral or any medication... very negligent, very dangerous.

I honestly can't believe he is allowed to treat our youth! He screams and talks over you and is full of rage. The worst experience I have ever had from anyone in the medical field!

He was an absolute jerk..thought I was just coming in for drugs. Profiled me because I have a pain pump and am on "heavy hitter narcotics" which he never even bothered to find out what was in it or the dosage. I left his office because he was argumentative to me and treating me like a druggie. My wife was there also and couldn't believe the lack of compassion. I also have Trigeminal Neuralgia..he didn't care.
