This man doesn't deserve any tittle of anything. He doesn't care about your pain and laugh and he didn't sit down, he didn't even look at me. I was in distressed pain and he just said "imagínate tu'* He siento deserve a license. I brought all my neurological test and he didn't even read them. He said that was trash. I was there for two previous diagnoses and he just ask for one of them and my spinal pain, I couldn't even walk straight he didn't ask for it. He left the room and I asked him about it and he said... Go to pain management and he left left. He prescribed something for migraine that I told him I had a lot of secundary effects and he didn't care. He higher the dose! Horrible man.

This doc doesn't seem to be well upstairs. He makes fun of ones ailments - and I think he tries to be funny, but it comes out hurtful. He has an odd sense of humor. One leaves with a sense of "Am I sick or is it him...?" Plus, his office setup is like a latin american meatmarket...everyone is given a 9am and when they call you, they call you. It can take hrs in the midst of an ocean of patients sitting there. I saw an elder sick asian man with his wife and daughter being taken away in a rescue truck from waiting too long-the staff said it was his fault for not eating,(what?!). The office clerks play along w/his quirky weird un-american ways-well, I guess it's that or no paycheck for them. Shame, cause one would think it's a different setup, since its really close in the nice city of Coral Gables.
