I experienced this provider as dismissive of my concerns, condescending and misogynistic towards me and my referring physician,who is female. In addition, he made off handed joking comments about the lenght of my colon.I am in the health care field and was shocked at his behavior.

When leaving his office, I was under the impression that he would remove what was left after my biopsy. When I contacted the radiology office that would do my biopsy, I was told they would remove what was left of the "growth" after taking the biopsy. I feel that truth was withheld and feel that as a patient I don't matter. I have Medicare as insurance and wonder if this played a part.

Very confident and optimistic. Not exactly gentle but he gets the job done even if you do say ouch once or twice. He was called in and diagnosed my problem when two other ER doctors could not and saved my life with emergency surgery. Good on the follow-up as well.

He knows what he is doing. He did a great job with the wound on my husband's leg. He is very confident.
