He thinks he knows a lot, but trust me he doesn't. If he did, I would have been cured years ago after working with him for multiple years. He has not helped me and he is soooooooooooooooooooooooo lazy. HE IS A JOKE. DO NOT C HIM. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF.

He was very unhelpful and he didn’t fix my issue when he said he was confident he could. So he lied and fooled me and mislead me. It’s awful.

He is the worst! Probably the most incompetent lazy jerk of a Dr to exist on this planet. He left me suffering in tears. And he must pay the consequences.

He is really unclear with his directions. He seems Lazy. If he actually cared about his patients he’d explain better and way more thorough. Careless !!!!
