Saw this doctor on an emergency basis through the ED department for what was later diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis(once I saw a real neurologist).. He the most rude & insensitive doctor I have ever encountered. I could tell he didn't believe my symptoms and ordered no tests. Simply referred me to an out of house neurologist for care of my migraines. He seemed angry and as if I was bothering him..taking his precious time. I had been warned about him before he even walked in my room by a nurse friend at baystate. Very insensitive & rude at one of the scariest times of my life. Will NEVER forget this experience

The most rude and arrogant doctor I have ever met. Not only would he not give us the time of day but we had a journal and videos that he would not even look at. UNBELIEVABLE!!

This doctor did nothing but lie. He wouldn't write a prescription so I had to get my PCP to write me one. He is a 64 year old doctor who has no care for his patients.

I'm sorry to say but he was the most irrogant doctor I know. He was rude, uncaring and had the worst bedside manner. I would never recommend him to anyone I know.

In the hospital he has a BAD bedside manner and sends a resident to tell you any results to your tests.

Abrupt, rude, didn't review charts from previous doctor before prescribing medication. Had heard bad things about him from other patients, all of which proved to be true.
