The reviews listed below were collected independently of Memorial Health Care Systems through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
His bed side manor has declined over the years. When the patient gets news of a life changing medical diagnosis, he needs to be a little more understanding and work with the patient. Not be demanding or controlling. He may have went to school to be a doctor, but the patients feelings, fears, and input should always come first over his "well I'm the Doctor " attitude. And the same goes for his nurse. I've been told by several people that his bedside manners are terrible and that they will no longer see him.

He doesn't just go through the motions. I have fine conversations with him anytime I visit about any concerns I'm having and he addresses them in a well put way. Nice guy all around.
