I had a pretty bad experience with this doctor and will never go back to see him!! I came into his office in a lot of pain, he said a couple of things, disappeared, and sent in the nurse to take care of the rest. I was confused as to what to do next. The nurse handed me instruction papers and sent me on my way. I never saw him again. Then, I called the next day to get different meds b/c what he prescribed me did not work and he basically said he couldn't help me any further. Not to mention he was very rude on the phone!!! He couldn't careless about helping me.

I can't help but feel like a I don't matter when I go in there. The doctor is adequate enough, but the staff is almost scary with their lack of caring. Especially when wielding a needle. The first visit was alright, but each one since then has gotten worse. I'd think it was me, but I've seen them act the same with the other patients. They even have signs within patient view of how today isn't their day to care. If any of them were close to being a teen, I'd expect eye rolling and heavy sighs when I have to ask a question. All in all, it's time to find another new doctor.
