This has to be the worst physician of all time! I have been to many different doctors in my lifetime, but never one that thought it was okay to belittle and yell at his patients. This doctor has no problems putting his patients down and letting them know how stupid he thinks they are. Don't dare ask any questions, he will either tell you he is not going to answer them (yes, he actually said this a number of times), will get angry with you for what he perceives as questioning his opinion, or does not diagnose you with anything, but he will give you a handful of tests he wants done. Maybe so other doctors can tell him what is really wrong with you when he can't. This doctor threw a child-like tantrum when I tried to explain to him what my symptoms were, he banged his note pad on his knees and got really close to my face, I literally thought he was going to pass out like a child does when they don't get their way. My granddaughter and daughter were in the room with me & were also shocked.

This horrific "doctor" ruined my life, I was stable on a low dose of medication. I had a LIFE. I worked, traveled, and hiked. At my last appointment, he abruptly discontinued my medication. (All the while, yelling in my face) The type of medication I was taking, should NEVER be abruptly stopped. A few days after my last dose, my heart had to be restarted in the back of an ambulance. I now suffer from severe PTSD and agoraphobia, trying to survive on SSI, because of what this "doctor" did to me. Larry Ryan? I hope someday you read this. You KNEW as a doctor that I could die if I abruptly stopped taking that medication, yet failed to tell me that. I doubt you'll care, but you should know that because of your actions, I've missed both my daughters' weddings and have not been able to watch my grandchildren grow up. I no longer have a life. I simply exist. .

When the DR. recently diagnosed me with a chronic illness, I immediately started asking questions. He raised his voice to me, and then asked if I had access to the Internet. When I said I did, he told me to look it up there! Several times during the exam I had to ask him to please lower his voice. He was literally yelling at me for not being able to understand what he was telling me. After feeling completely berated and humiliated, I walked out. I am still dealing with this illness with absolutely no help from my health care provider. In my opinion, this man should not be allowed to deal with patients.

At my last appointment he proceeded to ask me several questions as doctors do during the office visit. One of the questions raised some concern in my mind. Why is he asking that? I was a little worried. When I asked him if he thought it might be something serious, he slammed his clipboard on his lap, looked directly at me, and with an angry and bitter tone said that if I wanted to know if it was something serious then he would go and get several medical books, bring them to me, and let me search the books to find the answer. He went on and on in this manner for a several minutes, when a simple 'Yes' of 'No' would have sufficed. I couldn't chalk it up to a bad day on his part. He was equally as insulting at previous appointments. I just couldn't sit there and allow him to ridicule me any longer. I got up and walked out. I now have a collection agency reporting an unpaid bill on my credit report.

I used to be his patient some 15 years ago. Until I nearly died from his negligence.
