Hard to believe this doctor is practicing at Kirkland Clinic, an otherwise reputable firm. His arrogance and rude staff are not recommended.

Good luck getting Dr. Cummings to refer you to a specialist when you need one. If you want a doctor to respect what you think about what is going on with your own body, Dr. Cummings is not the doctor for you. His ego is too big too big to allow for the opinion of others.

You will roll the dice using this doctor. Too many other good ones to choose from.

Basically, I would recommend finding another doctor. I was a patient of his for many years and his level of professionalism has significantly diminished.
