Without going into details, I ended up changing doctors in mid treatment. I was not at all happy with any aspect of the doctor or the team. If you are looking for personal care, this isn't it. More like an assembly line where you can't reach the operator and are just trying pill after pill with no considerations giving to the underlying cause.

Worst Dr I have ever been to. Very arrogant and intimidating and has no bedside manner. His attitude was very disrespectful and I will never return to his office again.

A brilliant Dr. He probably shaved months off of my recovery time. He has never once asked me how I am feeling. Seemed surprised that I knew little about a condition I had been diagnosed with the day before. Even more surprised that I wanted him to explain it to me.

He doesn't even listen to me explaining my problems. He is always on a hurry. After a bunch of tests he doesn't know what is my disease is.
