He is an ambulance chaser. He is great as long as he knows your workers comp is going to pay him. But if they aren't he will stop seeing you. Deal with him at your own risk.

He is a great doc. He is very understaning. And he expresses concern to all situations. The office is a comfortable Christian atmosphere. He listens very well to all issues. He takes the necessary steps to correct the problem. His staff is alseays called me back when I have had a question,concern,problem. I would tell anyone to go there. He is a Christian. And he prays in office before after every visit. If a sugury is going to be preformed he prayes. Also before any procedure is performed he prays before the nurses take you into sugury.
