Worst experience ever. Very unprofessional and instead of focusing on the patient he focuses on how much money he can get out of you and your insurance company.

I can definitely say this was the rudest most unhelpful doctor I have seen and I have seen a lot of them as I have been disabled for years now. Doctor told me I was a liar and did not listen to his staff as they tell every NEW patient the DO NOT prescribe ANY pain medication. No matter if a patient legitimatEly NEEDS it and they are willing to refer you to pain management (for a 3 month wait) because you obviously do need medication. So if you chop your arm off, throw your back out, or are disabled from a horribly painful skin disease (like me) it doesn't matter. This doctor will not help you even if you offer to take a drug test, have a Dea med check (to show you are NOT a pain medication SEEKER and have nothing to hide and are 100% honsest) it won't matter. He will collect his insurance money from your visit and tell you that is there policy to not give ANY NEW patients pain medicine of any kind. No matter your situation. I would hate to see how he treats his normal patients.

I saw Dr. May for over 15 years, he became complacent and uncaring and totally unconcerned. If my visits were more than for refills I received very poor care. If you had to be referred it would take several days to a week no matter how severe the problem.

Very wise doctor. Always gets it right. Staff and nurses are top shelf. Friendly, personable and personal. Have recommended this doctor to my family. Would recommend to anyone.
