Relocated without notifying patients. We have been patients for 4 years and had to hear by word of mouth of move. Very unprofessional.

This doctor has a pattern of canceling appointments then trying to bill his patients $50 for missed appointments. His office is outdated and filthy. I do not recommend this doctor's shady practice.
