This physician is downright horrible. He misdiagnosed me and when he couldn't find anything wrong he basically called me a "crazy" according to nurses. Then everyone in the ER treated me horribly based on him labeling me as "crazy patient". Why are people like this allowed to be physicians? My primary care doctor later found a tumor in my small intestine which caused symptoms that this idiot dismissed when I was in the ER. I wouldn't trust this guy, and neither should you.
