Dr. Leon Salem, MD

I've never been treated as poorly by a physician as I was by Dr. Salem. While he and I did not see eye-to-eye on the appropriate means of treating what was a relatively acute condition, he was thoroughly dismissive of me. Not only was he rude and self-righteous, but he dismissed me and my complaints with a depersonalized coldness. I am a professional person with a doctoral degree in a liberal-arts-related field; my graduate studies were conducted at two of America's most prestigious Universities. Dr. Salem did not relate to me in a manner that accorded with the degree of respect I'm accustomed to receiving. While he very well may be a fine physician from a technical perspective, his bedside manner SUCKS. He should learn to treat his adult patients (even those who aren't MDs) with a little more consideration and respect.
