Appointment quickly turned hostile. My medical history was dismissed, my referring doctor was criticized, and I was offered an inappropriate procedure. When I expressed concern, I was cut off and the visit was ended early. I was then told I’d be removed from the Cedars system for planning to file a complaint. A resident present apologized for how the appointment was handled. I’ve since reported the incident to the Medical Board.

This man has an unpredictable bad temper. He is also very disorganized and came unprepared for appointments.
