Absolute worst doctor I have ever had the displeasure of seeing. I should have left after my first appointment when I waited at the reception for 15 minutes only to have the receptionist appear with a full plate of breakfast food and tell me I was late for my appointment. He will give you samples of medications with no prescription for them, and his office staff is absolutely useless. I had to call in over and over again for the better part of 3 months, while they would give me a few samples at a time, to finally get the prior authorization with the insurance resolved. I was very polite and was hung up on and put on hold indefinitely many times by his office staff. Most recently I tried to make an appointment to follow up for treatment and it was cancelled "because the doctor will not be in the office" two days before I was due to be seen. I had been waiting 3 weeks to see the doctor. The girl told me her computer was off so she couldn't reschedule me. I called back the following… business day and was told "our scheduling is all over the place, let me see what the doctor wants to do". Now today I receive a letter in the mail stating they will no longer see me. This is absolutely absurd and unacceptable behavior. This office is incompetent at best and arguably deliberately negligent to the care of their patients when they "fire" a client for following up on medication they need to survive.
