He is the most uncaring doctor, ever trained. I told him, I had racing heart 4 years ago, with steroid injection. He ordered steroid injection. After 3 hours I got racing heart. I called him. He accepted no responsibility. He told me go to ER. He should have given me a medication that lowers the heart beat. Because of him and ER doctor Emi. Latham. I have Diastolic Heart Failure. My heart will never ever relax. It is non reversable. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. and I need coffee to move around. But Coffee raises my Heart Beat. He is THE worst doctor ever. And he works is University of California at San Diego. The trashiest medical establishment ever.
