Seemed distant from his patient and aloof to their concerns.

From the start Dr Farooq & his (not sure if she was a PA or ARNP) who is no longer there were amazing. She held my hand through a painful blood gas draw in the hospital. From the great front staff, Nicole who rocks that office. I will miss them & I appreciate their quick transition to my new Dr's here in Wi. Thank you for everything.

Office is dirty dusty. Staff is friendly but overwhelmed. Dr. lacks ability to communicate clearly during serious situations. Impatient and unable to describe details. Is condensending gives you the impression that your input in of not value.

Totally disconected from the patient.During our second visit he Was playing with his Computer while he was delivering us terrible news.I was asking questions and he was answering them very casually, eventhoughwhat he was saying us it was terrible.T.G that we found another doctor that cares and has a different view of the case
