Rude and arrogant demeanor, displayed impatience and disbelief for symptoms I displayed. Refused to provide referrals for physical therapy when asked. Refused to consider referrals for MRI when recommended by ER doctor. Directed me to take additional narcotic pills after I told him I didn't remember when I had last taken them, resulting in making me very sick and bedridden for the rest of the evening. Showed impatience and irritation at my visible physical pain when in his office. Failed to screen for and diagnose my gall attacks which later resulted in laproscopic surgery. Failed to screen for and diagnose my herniated disc which resulted in a microdiscectomy. An incompetent, callous performance over several months showing nothing but dismissal for my repeated attempts to get help. Avoid him.

Was looking for new PCP and made appt. Waited 45 mins. Dr came in and was immediately confrontational. I have Primary immune disease, born with it, Dr didnt believe i have this, or hi cholesterol, ive been on meds for it for over 10 yrs, told me i was depressed, im not, said i didnt need a pcp and should go to urgent care when i have probs! He was smirking entire time im not sure why. Im a CMA and he said i couldnt accurately take my blood pressure! Very rude, narcissistic attitude, and made me feel like i was a bother to him. If you have any serious, chronic conditions do NOT go to this Dr, he is belittling and very rude, isnt going to truly help you. And he doesnt value pt input at all. A real jerk who should not be a Dr. Very awful experience.
