He was unprofessional in my opinion. He did not listen to my mother or me about her symptoms or her/my concerns. This is the second time I take my mother to see him & he seems to be in a rush to get to the next patient. I will never bring my mother back here again. I will tell all of my family & friends not to go to see him.
