This man has ice water in his veins, he must not have ears because he don't listen, no respect for what your family is saying. Don't like to be questioned and will not answer you. He orders test that clearly has nothing to do with your condition. He don't read charts because if he did he clearly wouldn't prescribe medicine that you're allergic to the have the nurses administer high doses of benadryl through your iv. Then when you refuse unnecessary testing cause it's not relevant to the procedure you've had, he actually discharges you regardless of the time approved by the insurance company. He also sent me home on pain medication that I was allergic to as well. He wasn't even my admitting surgeon but I was passed to him because they are are in the same circle. Yeah, I filed a complaint against him and them. My advice is to run like your life depends on it because literally it does. I'm forced to give him one star otherwise I can't submit it and people need to know this.

They only charged me for the amount they get from the insurance. Great help when I was in Florida.

Cold hearted, arrogant SOB who makes it obvious that he could care less about the care he gives his patient, he is just there for the paycheck. My mother was admitted to St. Lukes under his care and she progressively got worse. When we would point out her increasingly alarming condition he would ignore us and he stated on more than one occasion that we should "just wait and see what happens". In one case, despite the fact that my mother was laying in bed with her eyes rolled up in her head, unable to move, he actually chuckled and said "lets see what happens today". Once her condition deteriorated to the point (due in part to his total lack of care) that we had to simply make her comfortable until she passed, he had the NERVE to deny that request even though we had already discussed it previously. Thank God for the nurses at St. Lukes who were willing to step up and take him on. He deserves to have his license revoked.
