Arrogant, rude, awful bedside manner. It's time for this guy to retire. My mom is in a rehab center and because her primary physician doesn't serve this facility, Dr. Doom-And- Gloom was assigned because he's in the same medical practice as the primary physician. He didn't show up for 4 days, then questioned the meds the primary care doc and the oncologist had her on. Said he wouldn't be responsible. He was obnoxiously rude to my brother and me on the phone and basically wrote off my mom. AVOID THIS DOCTOR IF YOU CAN. IF HE IS ASSIGNED TO YOU, IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO GET ANOTHER DOCTOR. We fired him and now have a wonderful, caring MD looking out for my mom's well-being, one who is working WITH the primary and the oncologist, NOT against them or the patient.
