He looks good on paper but does not listen to you and makes really bad decisions. His poor decision-making might mean you do not make it or get sicker because he has no idea what he's doing. I am a doctor myself, so I know what it takes and he does not have it.

Long time patient within fairview and billed as new patient, called billing and was told it should not have been billed this way... But, I guess we were all wrong and they can do what they want, and not return calls. went to CVS and diagnosed within 10 minutes and treatment was underway for less than half the price. Would have rated Zero stars not an option.
