The worst bedside manner Ive ever come across. Offered little to no information at the appointment, had to pull teeth to get a diagnosis out of him. He offered no support, guidance, game plan... very discouraging. He is now practicing in Maine. We will NEVER see him again. TERRIBLE!!!

His call service is very I personnal. The lady for the call back service can be very rude and will even tell you what to do even thoughyou need her to contact the. Dr. For his advise.Very hard to get a hold of this Dr. As well as an appointment ,you can not talk to a nurse, receptionist (Real person) since he does not have an office. 9x out of 10 I just take my daughter to the emergency room. If he is your doctor I would recomend to do the same thing. Currently looking for another doctor. @ your appt his careing is like the rest of his services up to that point. The man is just to busy or not that interested. If you have had a good experience. And did not have to jump through hoops,and is still jumping these darn hoops I am glad for you and your child. I do not recommendthis doctor to anyone especially when I hear there are specialist with normal offices that have recepionists/nurses. Real peaple you can call and talk to. Thank you for reading.
