Dr. Powell was very rude to me when I saw him more than 10 years ago. I was exhausted, in terrible pain, hardly sleeping, had gained about 50 pounds in a year…I was miserable, barely able to work and desperate for help. Dr. Powell let me briefly describe my condition, asked me a few questions, told me I needed to work out, that there was nothing wrong with me, that he had sick patients to see, then he walked out of the exam room. I left his office in tears and was later diagnosed with a chronic pain and fatigue condition. Maybe he has changed, but I would NEVER recommend him to anyone.

He is a great doctor. He listens and takes up time with you and explains your problems. He does not rush you out like a lot of doctors do.
