He is doctor who wants to pressure you into surgery more than he wants to get to a correct diagnosis. I would recommend anyone considering seeing him to get a second opinion from a surgeon, preferably not from a surgeon in the department he heads, since they will not feel like they can say anything. He recommended removing my ovary and possibly uterus, and pushed me to do this asap because I could die of cancer.
The second and third opinions I got: you almost definitely do not have cancer. They were right. I had surgery, kept my reproductive organs inside me where they belong. I almost did not get a second opinions because he tried to scare me into getting the surgery that very week.
My sister who came with me pointed out that his fingers were so thick he had trouble handling his business cards when they fell on the floor. He is someone who might have made a decent doctor, but would advise anyone against letting him ue a scalpel on you.
