While I believe he was a good doctor and very knowledgeable, I was very disappointed when he moved away with very little notice.

Abandoned his patients! Office closed with no notice, unable to get any information for two weeks. Message on machine referred patients to contact their primary care physician. No excuse for abandoning his patients.

The office staff are out of control. Rick-is especially rude and obnoxious. He actually started yelling at me on the phone refusing to get a hold of Dr. B who was in another country. Rick has been rude on many occassions. I will be leaving the practice because of his horrible attitude. I have also addressed the doctor on these issues.

While the Dr. himself is a great educator and a good doctor, his office staff is terrible, refusing to provide necessary information or do necessary paperwork and not passing on messages. They are uninformed and rude. I will probably have to change doctors to get away form his staff.
