He has treated me for over a decade because of 2 failed neck fusions, done by a surgeon who has lost his license. Yesterday I called his office because of a flare up which was causing numbness and pain in both arms. I saw him in less than 24 hours. He did not make me feel like I was causing him to run late for his appts which I obviously was. Over the years I have seen him for a multitude of flare ups and emergencies and he has never been anything but caring and attentive.

He's rude. Wouldn't listen to my questions and concerns. He talked over me and when I called him on his behavior, he hung up on me.

I think he gave just what was important and made me feel so much better about the time he spent seeing me. He gives up the time to satisfy every patient and have a special new way of being pain-free. The quality of the care is top-notch and shows some well thought out medical planning. Overall, I would say this is a truly outstanding way of working and putting a lot into everything he does.

long wait, short visit, he blamed my pain on my weight, which is probably true, but he wasn't very sensitive about it.

He has been my MD for over a year. He has me on a fraction of the medication I was on before I came to him and I feel better. I have had 2 neck fusions and natural fusions in my back. When I came into his office this Spring with numbness in both arms and unbearable pain, he dealt with me for over an hour. When I apologized for destroying his schedule, he just shook his head and smiled.I have a pain pump which was installed by another MD. Early today I developed severe pain in my lower back and instant numbness. I called and spoke with his nurse. Even though he is not at the hospital, he is meeting me there shortly. That to me is excellent care.

This guy is a horrible doctor!!! I wouldn't send my dog to see him. He is arrogant, doesn't listen and had attitude with me. When there are so many choices in this day and age you'd think he'd be a little nicer to his patients!!! I see someone else in that clinic now who is much better. I've heard horrible things about this guy!
