worst doctor ive ever been to. inaccurate with scheduling, and withholds details. he says whatever he wants to make a customer come and go. i made the mistake of getting a procedure done with him. he greatly damaged my throat and claims "we went down the esophagus we dont touch the throat" .. but one comes before the other. he said its not possible to touch the throat. he also said sedation will never cause chest pains, in which i started feeling right after the procedure. i brought this up to him and he rejected the idea that it was caused by the sedation. i was healthier before this..

Extremely poor bedside manner, rushes through visits, and does not explain anything. To top it all off, very rude and arrogant behavior.

very little explanations in terms of the conditions, treatment plan, follow up, etc. it seems the volume of patients is the most importment to him.
