Have seen him a few times and felt I had a better grasp on my condition from Googling definitions than I had coming from him. Anytime I asked questions to try and understand how he could quickly come to a diagnosis, I was stared at and told to schedule for surgery before I was comfortable making such a big decision. I'll be looking into a second opinion as I felt I wasn't being listened to by this doctor.

The doctor has poor bed side manner. He also lies and says he has reviewed cases and what is going on and is a flat out lie , won't even be seen or do anything to help the situation, and then says oh well you can just go see someone else . Most unprofessional doctor I have ever seen in my life. He has pushed surgeries back and says doesn't know till when but won't give any advice or help what to do in the meantime while there are pins lliterall sticking threw the skin and he won't do anything except say take tylenol,but won't see the patient . How is this legal ?!!!!

He was anything but honest about what to expect after surgery. I reached out several times afterward but never got a response. After doing research and talking with others that had the same surgery, I am very concerned about recovery. I'm forced to find someone else to follow up on my condition. No care and no compassion.
