I saw this doctor in his office , he was very quite but very professional and knew exactly what was wrong with me. I went to several other doctors before that I felt they just were doing tests to get the money. Never felt better !

Found his bed-side manner off-putting and dismissive. Worse, he lacked curiosity and concern for my condition. Offered no ideas about future treatment or short-term ways to make me feel better, and, when asked directly about these things, his answers were tossed off and obvious. Canâ??t speak about his treatment skills because the 11 wasted minutes I spent with him convinced me I wasnâ??t going to let this man treat me. If youâ??re ill, see someone else. You certainly donâ??t want to feel as if your doctor is counting down the minutes until he clocks out for the day.
