Greedy doctor/Over schedules, and is never on time, because of it, and has no respect for his patients, but demands it, and will refuse to prescribe medication, or perform services, if you complain!!!

Submitted Aug. 2, 2023

He is the most arrogant and rude and just so horrible person. He has a hold on your every move and will not help you in any way if you have to reschedule or need to change pharmacies or if you want to change Doctors. All he does is talk about himself. He has never ever asked me how I was feeling. He is horrible. Go to Tri States.

Has no concern for the patient or the pain they are in. No concern to hear what is even wrong. Give him the test results and he just tosses them away. He knows better. He's very rude, obnoxious , talks about himself and his biker friends and strip clubs, complains about his wife, horrible doctor, very unprofessional. Very long wait times, expect to be there for 2 hours just in the waiting room. He's very hyper, and you can't have a conversation with him about what is wrong with you because all he talks about is himself. No concern for the patient or how they are suffering. Despicable!

This doctor puts you in a position that if you refuse to take his advice or refuse his implants he will not give you medications you desperately need. Acts as if he is the ultimate judge in all medical knowledge even when you provide proof to the contrary then he gets angry and short with you. When asking for specific medications that are known to work or an increase in dosage he gives lame excuses such as weight gain and exercise to prevent you from attaining a semblance of quality of life you need to work & just survive even though there are scientific journals that discuss tolerance and variations of tolerance between all people. Gossips for all to hear, swears, then makes jokes at your expense. After talking to others in the waiting room I discovered that he is very sexist and will make sexual jokes towards women and joke with the men about their wives in the room with them. He also gives men what medications they ask for without issue yet he will refuse to give women what they need until they provide proof such as X-Ray, MRI, or CT scans before giving them medications they need even though the imaging was already provided at the initial appointment. He is not interested in providing quality of life to patients but rather more interested in talking about his life, problems, money issues, and his doctor connections. He seems to enjoy the power he has over people who desperately need the right care and correct medications as well as increasing his profits by manipulating people into unnecessary procedures that end up causing more harm than good. When I felt like I wouldn't get the care I needed unless I did the trial version of the spinal stimulator, I ended up with complications that he completely dismissed and I had to see my PCP to help with.
Wait times range from 2-4 hours with additional wait time in the patient rooms up to 1 hour.

Great doctor. Listened to my problems didnt rush me. Wait time was about 45 minutes to see him but ive waited 4 hours in ft mohave to see a pain doctor. People with bad reviews probably did something wrong like rude to staff or failed drug test. If your a true pain patient he is great. Do not go there if you are just searching for a pill mill, he is very legit and only helps people in need. Ignore the bad reviews and give him a shot! You wont be disappointed. He is not cold and stuck up like most doctors he is very personable and caring.

Dr was very late left office for lunch and left us waiting. Office is filthy. Most service stations are cleaner. Did incomplete exam, but spent most of the time with his back to me making fun of my accent and blaming Obama for having to make notes in chart. His medical records reflect that I am opiod dependent and chronic pain, my visit was for an acute back problem that started 2 weeks prior. He Doubled the strength on the vicodin and told me to take more frequently after I told him it bothered my stomach and I was unable to take. He told me to use a cane and make an appointment for more drugs.

This doctor is rude, aggressive and cannot handle being questioned (I don't know, maybe it is his steroid use that is causing this). He cares more about gambling, strip clubs and biker parties in Sturgis SD oh yeah and his position in the stock market. He is now refusing to see me because I called him on letting patients smoke ecigs in the waiting room. And because the people who were smoking the ecigs got mad he blamed it all on me and used defensive if not threatening undertones as he talked to me about all the biker friends he has all over town. Maybe he should educate himself as to the unknown health risks that ecigs pose. Just ask the FDA--they'll tell you.

When I started to tel how a recent home invasion has brought on Panic Attacks that cause more muscle pain; this doctor cut me off at the mention of being attacked, he made light of what I went through & even made a stupid joke. He was running over 2.5hrs late, not my fault, but as a result, my first appt was very short & incomplete. I want to be able to have something other than Oxycodones for the pain I live with, as a result of a spinal injury, so I can function in my life with less pain. But this day at the doctor's office was a waste of my time.
