He’s a very nice doctor!
Very professional, honest, answers all your questions, straight shooter.
Very helpful and knowledgeable. Honest and did not push unnecessary treatments or surgery
Open and direct. Encouraging. Just what we all want in our professional experts.
I am in so much pain. The doctor saw me today and took the time to listen and he helped me with everything. I am so grateful. Excellent person
Personable, professional, explains everything
Waited for him for 1hr, for him to give e me 10 min of his time. Did not review my information to see what my MRI said which was sent to him via email. Had it on my phone explained I can send it to him. He did not want to wait he said let me see it. Pulled the phone from my hands, he said he couldn't understand how to work my phone, I said you only have to slide it like a slide show. He continued to say I can't understand this phone. He gave it back to me, he acted worse than my 4 year old granddaughter. He said I see "a little thing here and a little thing there". What does that mean, said to myself. Gave me the phone back. I told him your not going to look at it and what do you mean by that? No answer was given. This is a doctor that was highly recommended by thr website. I just think he thought was to difficult
Just met him. Time will tell.
