He is truly a great doctor and has tested me with so many tests that other doctors haven’t. Also, it wasn’t that long of a wait to get in like other people were complaining about. I got in a month after I was referred to him.

Traveled a great distance for his expertise. He spent a great deal of time with us and was great with my son. We were amazed that he was able to relieve the symptoms of my son's rare condition, and he is still doing well 2 years out. Great doctor!

Unable to get in for an appt due to his assistant Brenda. She was unprofessional. Communication is poor. Tried for over two months to schedule an appt and finally gave up with a lack of returned phone calls and went to another doctor.
