I went to him with a few different issues that I started having from another surg. done in TX. He really took time to talk with me and run different test to find the best why to fix my problems. I am very glad that someone told me about him. I have referred my sister and best friend to him.

I can’t believe this man has so many good reviews. He was one of the rudest and most smart elec people I have ever met. I started to go to him because he was an hour from me and I was driving four hours before, I will gladly drive the four hours. He was very rude.

This is a very compassionate Doctor, very easy to talk to and very easy to understand, he explains everything he is going to do to you before he does it
