Missed my MS diagnosis because he didn't want to "bog down the system" by sending me for an MRI. He wrote on my last requisition that it was psychosomatic. He also lost my test results for other useless tests he sent me for since he didn't want to send me for mri.

Diagnosed my son with food allergies when he was 1 year of age. Fast forward to now a decade later - saw the allergist who said that my son never had any allergies.

Spouse had some strange symptoms, after wasting an appointment on a meet and greet, he didn't listen to the multiple symptoms, only a single symptoms of being tired and this doctor prescribed sleeping pills. We wanted a second opinion and a visit to another walk in clinic resulted in a simple blood test l, which revealed that it was cancer. This doctor does not care about you at all. During my mandatory meet and greet, I was scolded for seeing another doctor for a pap months before. I heard from a friend that saw him that is pap tests are boredline violent. Do not see this doctor.

This doctor should lose his license. He is horrible!!! He missed diagnosing me with MS despite having clear symptoms including tingling. He refused to send me for an MRI as it would bog down the system but instead sent me for useless tests that kept me a full extra year without knowing what was wrong. After he lost my results for an ultra sound and refusing to meet me for the rescheduled appointment for over an hour. I paid to pull my records & found another doctor who finally sent me for an MRI, confirming that I did in fact have Multiple Sclerosis. At the time I had over 20 lesions in my spine & brain. He also thinks women trying to get pregnant should not take prenatal pills until they have confirmed they are pregnant. That goes completely against any prenatal care advice out there.

Worst Dr ever. He is the reason I lost trust in our health care system. Had I listened to him & not pulled my records and found a new doctor, 12 years ago, I would have never known I had MS. Rather than putting me on the long waiting list to get an MRI, he wrote me off and wrote psychosomatic on my last requisition. He insisted my tingly feet were not due to MS. I finally switched to a decent doctor and it has been 10 years since I was diagnosed and properly treated for multiple sclerosis.

He is the worst Dr I have ever had!!! My appointments were no more than 5 minutes long. He won't answer any questions. He was rude, very insensitive and very condescending!!! He is a pill pusher and should be retired. DON'T GO TO HIM!!!!!! Find another Doctor. When I wanted to talk about my symptoms, he wouldn't, if I had any questions he wouldn't answer them except to tell me that I "was driving him nuts." He told me it didn't matter what the side effects of Medication were. It will take my pain away so what does it matter. He told me another time that I should "take the pills or die" He is rude and made fun of me and my profession( I'm a teacher). He wouldn't go through and talk to me about my test results. I told him if he doesn't teach me I have to go to Dr Google. He didn't care. My last appointment with him was the best because I didn't say anything, got another prescription and left. I'm sorry to whomever has to deal with him . Its worth it to be put on a waiting list for someone else.
