Sadly, would not recommend this doctor. He doesn't really listen to you or your concerns. He seems to have a preconceived opinion of you without really hearing your symptoms or needs. At one point, he walked away from me while I was asking a question of him. Nurse is extremely rude and abrasive. This doctor and his staff needs to remember that they may be dealing with scared, upset people who don't need this level of rudeness shown to them. I'm already looking for another doctor who will actually listen to me and treat me with respect.

I was so stunned I just sat there! I though HE was getting into the free samples. He is sympathetic though. I happened to arrive @ a hospital one night via ambulance & when he saw me roll in he just looked so saddened & worried. I did like him. The staff however, are on some sort of powere trip. I HATE the staff!
