Was treated then terminated as patient. Staff violates HIPA. When you ask questions they are intimidated and shut down conversation. They even called the police one me. No trespassing because I asked about them taking VA insurance. Poor customer service.

He is the most apathetic Dr I have ever known. Spare yourself the agony. He hastily recommended wrist surgery and I'm worse off for it. I have lupus and 2 levels of spinal surgery. He denied my pain every time I tried to tell him about it. He denied me physical therapy after ruining my wrist. I have more pain now than before going to him for pain management. I heard his receptionist violate a patient's HIPPA agreement in front of all other patients in waiting area. She disclosed his results of his UA as "having something in your urine that shouldn't be in it". This place is an abomination to the medical community. Drs like this give other Drs a bad name..good riddance Dr Wreckless.!

I went to him for medical help, before I could even get into why I was there, he kicked me out said I was dr. shopping for medicine. I didnt want want mediciine I had some. i really needed him, he needs to start being a doctor, and quit letting his nurse make his decisions! His nurse is mean, very rude, and she better be glad she isnt at a hospital, a patient would of done knocked her out! Don't use this man, he doesnt care about you.

I had an appointment with this doctor and was very upset when I came out of his office. I couldn't ask him any questions. When ever I did he told me there you go again being a doctor, lawyer, etc. I felt like he thought I was going to sue him. Also before I even saw him I had to take a drug test to see what meds I was on. This was before I even saw him or before he even thought about giving me any medication. Which I never even asked for any. I went with hopes of getting my knee fixed but came out crying and feeling like I had done something wrong.
