He wouldn't bother looking at my dad after his medical files were sent to him. He told him "there is nothing I can do for you" and never tried to help him. 5 months later he tried to go to him again and was told "I already looked at your file 5 months ago. There's nothing I can do for you"

Dr. Stancher's office was incredible. His nurse Kathy was caring and really showed it. Dr. Stancher actually cared about me and my family, instead of just making money.

The office is dirty, the wait is long, no parking is validated, and the doctor does not listen or seem to care. Do not risk it, go somewhere else.
