Rude and arrogant. After a year and thousands, he abruptly ended treatment for daughter's scoliosis, claiming non-compliance with recommendations. We did everything requested from the start, including daughter wearing back brace 23 hours every day. Prior to last 2 visits we called to confirm how he wanted x-rays (in or out-of-brace). He didn't respond either time. His office told us to do what we wanted. We decided to x-ray out of brace (after 2 previous in-brace) to track actual curve. This apparently wasn't his desire. He abruptly said, "If you want me to treat this you do it my way. If you want your way, see someone else." In fact, we had done all his way and asked for direction the last 2 times. He refuses contact and justified his behavior by putting in his final notes (after the fact)that I've been rude with staff from the start. That's blatantly false. I had no such interaction with anyone prior to the that. Since them I repeatedly expressed frustration to no avail.

He was never on time for office visits but he is a surgeon and his staff always called me to let me know how far behind he was. However, the surgery went very well and he was always very kind and took his time to talk and make sure all my questions were answered

I had a 360 degree Spinal Fusion. He was very knowledgeable and did not rush me into surgery. He has excellent bedside manner and takes the time to answer all your questions.
