Rather dull and hard to understand. Way to much doctor talk, and not enough straight talk. Had a prescription for me that when i went to pick up, wasn't covered. Pharmacist had a different one, in generic, got the approval, and it was covered. 3 months now and no follow up call, I would not go back anyways. Have new doctor in Durango, even thou it is a drive.

He seemed to be overly structured and not very intuitive for a PCP.

I arrived at this doctors office late in the day, and the Doc seemed very rushed to see me. I had an infection on my leg and he stated that I would need some antibiotic medicine from the local walgreens. When I got to the walgreens, he had left for the weekend without sending in the medicine prescription. I spent nearly an hour and a half last Friday afternoon trying to get this fixed. I finally had to go to the local ER for help. Very disappointed.

I received third world attention and information from this quack. The wrong medicine prescribed put me in the hospital for the afternoon. My insurance company is filing suit.

Worst medical care I ever had. Third world at best. Arogant and non caring.
