If I could leave zero stars, I would. In the middle of nerve block treatments, which can be very dangerous if not done correctly, he would hover over me and say that I wasn't paying my bill. I had insurance that paid 100% of my office calls, so that never made sense. After numerous attempts of throwing different medicines at my head pain, I was given one that had several disturbing side effects. When I asked if I could stop taking it, he said it would be fine. I proceeded to have major withdrawal that triggered severe depression. When I looked up the medication it was one that was given to recovering heroin addicts- never intended to be given for pain EVER. Run from this man!

This Doctor is money hungry and there is no compassion. He walks out on patients when they are trying to talk to him. He has no time for questions.

Since I have been seeing Dr. K, his team has managed my issues quickly giving me great results. I could not be more impressed. Staff are very friendly and do their best to respond to you in a timely manner.

The Dr. was rude and belittling, stated he would not honor the contract with United Health Care. Stated I would have to pay the difference my Insurance did not pay. He said he did not care what the insurance contract said I would pay. I left without treatment!
