Didn’t treat my problem. Left emergency room with same issue. Was charged $910 for nothing.

He is thorough and compassionate. I ended up in the hospital for 6 days which all started with his compassionate quick diagnosis and CHOMP is blessed to have such a caring Doctor.

Never, ever will I ever see that so call Dr. again! Saw him in ER made me feel worst then I already felt. From all the bad reviews the people who were hurt by him report him! His behavior is out of line , major attitude problem! Please quit subjecting people who are hurt and need help to this mean spirited man! Shame on hospital for employing him!

don't know where these bad reviews are coming from. He is an excellent doctor...got me out of an afib episode fast. Listened. Was competent and caring. These other reviews puzzle me. Maybe the patients have the attitude. Sometimes you get back what you give.

He was so rude and dismissive. A huge jerk. Could care less that I was screaming in pain. He has a huge attitude problem. He thought I just wanted pain meds like a drug addiction or something. He didn't treat me. I ended up having an infection that got treated from another Dr.

Dr. File was a wonderful doctor to me and my unborn baby in the er. He made it very clear he would get me feeling better and did just that. His bedside manner was very gentle and kind. He really listened to my concerns and took my illness seriously. I have zero complaints about this dr!

Dr. File allegedly has a nickname amongst his own staff: Dr Vile. This makes sense. He is quick to make judgments out of his purview and puts patients lives at risk. He is not only a mean spirited doctor. He makes mistakes. Gets it wrong. And at worst, risks lives.

Dr. File is an arrogant, rude, dismissive, uninformed, dangerous doctor to have in an ER. He'd prefer to hurt a patient in lieu of help; and quips insulting jabs just to drive his poor bed side manner off -course. Curious how many patients he's had a licence to kill? Protect your family. Do not let him near!
