I to ad issues with this man less than two months ago. I asked him abou the numbness in my hands. He immediately said it was carpal tunnel and PRESCRIBED a splint! Well, I told him the splint would be useless with a one year old. Imagine chnaging diapers. He siad to try it. And it was useless. I went to Rueben Orr a chiropractor and he says its not carpal tunnel its irritated nerves. Pops my back and i havent had numbness in my hands at night ever since. I also asked him about putting me back on ritalin since i was experience adult add symptoms, he told me to see a shrink for depression, that nobody in the office would even treat me for such a ridiculous thing. I told him "I cant remember where my bank card is to pay you, so whoses sad now?" Never will he get 350.00 from united healthcare or myself again.

I chose this doctor as my primary care physician. I filled out the health questionnaire as required and listed what was wrong with me as long term illness. When I stayed home from work for the week and called for a doctors note I was given an answer not for what I had. When I asked them why givien my long term illness which can compund a strep throat, sinus infection, etc, they called me back. They said yes I did fill out the form but I should have told the doctor of my long term illness. Funny, but I thought a doctor was suppose to review your chart before treating you? I have a problem with blaming the patient for something the doctor should have done. Also when I went back (I needed the note) they said there was other information I should have filled out, but upon review with their own nurse there wasn't I did fill everything out completely. Extremely dissatisfied. Your doctor should be someone you can trust and not someone that degrades you on the phone as I felt.

I had a terrible encounter with this doctor. I perceived him as angry, disrespectful, and defensive when I questioned him in the least little bit about the treatment he recommended.
