Dr. King is a terrible bedside manner. He's extremely rude condescending and arrogant.

Dr. King has been my Doctor for over 20 years. He was my dad's and also my mom's. He is currently my wife's Doctor. Reading some of the reviews I felt compelled to write. He will not overprescribe medication and always operates on the side of caution. His bedside manor is the best. He has a great sense of humor...if you have a sense of humor and is very diligent in his work. My mother was in the hospital recently and he went by to see her three times a day and even went by on the weekend. Don't know who the bad reviewers saw but it wasn't Doctor King.

Took wonderful care of my 91 year old mother-in-law when he saw she had blood clots in her leg. She is still going strong!

You won't find a better diagnostician, real human being who practices how a physician should practice

This is a doctor that will LISTEN to what you have to say. He is professional, a nice human being and excellent in his practice of medicine. I recommended him to many of my friends all of whom like and respect him as much as I do. I have been an RN for over 30 years and I am very picky about who I go to - I think Dr. King is the best!

I myself don't find this Doctor to be good. I don't trust his diagnoses and I don't find him to be a trustworth person. He is also very arrogant and a major snob

Dr. King is somewhat arrogant. He also has bad Bed side manners. He made my Mother feel upset and extremely depresses. He also spoke rather rudely with Family members. ONE WHO IS HIS EQUAL. MEANING A MEDICAL BACKGROUND.
