Not a fun visit with my teen daughter. He asked health history and then proceeded to shame me for… Asking questions? I asked one question and received the same answer five times in a row… he didn’t bother to word at different. I had a question and his answer was “100% of the time”. I tried to rephrase my question so I could get a better understanding and he literally repeated those words five times to me without any attempt to help me understand a better resolution. I have since seen another doctor and he immediately came up with other ideas that could work for my daughter’s surgery. Talking down to patients, trying to humiliate, being purposely rude and mean, it’s good money if you can get it and there’s no refunds in medicine. But just because you can doesn’t mean you should. He didn’t thank me for coming in and paying him money, he didn’t say goodbye. He turned and walked out just as rudely as he’d treated us both.
Exceptional doc. Knowledgeable - listens - spent extra time . Can’t ask for better as a patient
Great bedside manners, He was knowledgeable, personable, and explained things very clearly. Game me options to treat my injury as I’m suffering from an injury that will be better with PT and patience. I didn’t feel rushed and felt like he genuinely cared. I’t experience that very often in the medical field anymore so I would definitely refer him and go back to him if needed.
Had to wait 38 minutes but he was open and attentive to my issues. Got a cortisone shot and script for pt. Went home knowing I was going to get feeling better! Thanks all the staff!
Very professional and attentive. I didn’t feel rushed, he listened all my questions and concerns.
Very professional and caring person
Great doctor! Very personable and caring. Easy to talk to and answers all my questions.
So easy to talk to and explains options so even I can understand.
Did a great job on my shoulder replacement and all the follow up appointments were very informative,helpful and personal.
Very friendly. Explains everything completely to me & answers all my questions.
