Rude and arrogant. Would ask a question then not let you answer and talk over you. Left the room several times for extended periods. The last time he came into the room he asked me some more questions and continued to talk over me. He then said to get undressed to my underwear and he would be right. After 25 minutes of sitting in a my underwear in a cold room with ripped duct tapped exam tables I decided enough was enough. I got dressed and left. I agree with the other 1 star reviews here and can only imagine that it must be staff coming on here and trying to raise his grade!

It is obvious that this doctor stacks patients. I waited more than 2 hours for a scheduled appointment on more than one occasion. Once I was in the room, he was in and out numerous times. I was not able to ask any questions without him walking out of the room. He drilled me for several minutes and it felt as if I was being interrogated. He has a horrible bedside manner. After trying to cancel the appointment, the assistant bullied me into a second. After the second appointment, I actually avoided their numerous phone calls just to be rid of them. Horrible experience all the way around.
