My grandmother was in the MICU at ECMC. Overall, the care she received was poor-both medically and nursing care. It seemed this doctor did not have any compassion nor did he seem concerned with any of her active medical issues.

I felt that our family member received subpar care while in the icu. Communication was poor and it appeared that people were too busy to care. Our Doctor lacked a lot of compassion

This person has absolutely nothing to do with the medicine field,always busy behind the desk.gives very vagues answers and very negatives opinions.i was disappointed to see a doctor like him working in ICU section of the ECMC .my son was in induced coma for 5 days only ,when he told me there is no hope for him to live.

My mom was very sick at ECMC. I didn't care for this doctor at all. He acted too busy to take time and discuss everything with us and my mom was critically ill.

I wouldn't recommend this doctor. He was rude to my mom and basically told her he couldn't help her. He works at ECMC. The icu area was very dirty

He is so hard to understand. Has a lisp which is very very noticeable. It's probably cause he's inbred. Do not recommend
