Went with my mother on her second visit because she said she didn't like him. I'm a physical therapist and work in the rehab setting. I couldn't believe how awful he was. Literally 2 min visit with most of that with his head turned to the computer. He did exactly the same thing he did on her first visit. Offered no info, NO COMPASSION, barley answered my questions and did so with minimal words.We will report him to the insurance company. To top it off, we waited 40 min!!

He spends absolutely no time with his patients, I know several people who have gone to him as well as myself. he will not manage your symptoms, I have been left in excruciating pain for 2 months with no answers and been treated as a drug seeker. I'm a nurse, he took my pulse by putting his hand on my wrist for literally two seconds and typed 70 into his computer. teach me that trick doc, you can save me a lot of time with my patients. absolutely horrible to be on the other side and treated with such little respect, as if you're another number to or a puzzle to him. you're ot a person. I was in his office crying in pain and fear of what could be wrong. no empathy, no compassion. I am so disappointed that I have wasted so much of my time!
