Worst doctor I have ever seen. He diagnosed me with an ear infection (even the symptoms did not agree) and wrote me a prescription. He was incredibly rude and seemed annoyed that he was there. I went back the next morning because the pain had escalated and he brushed me off. I went to see another provider and there was no sign of an ear infection but something else entirely.

This was the first time I was seen at this office and it was for a DOT physical. A few weeks later I needed to have a sports physical completed and he refused to sign it even though he had just completed a physical on me a few weeks earlier. A physical is a physical if he completed it properly! Since he refused to sign the form I was forced to go elsewhere and pay out of pocket for a new physical since my insurance had already paid for one. I find this very unprofessional and a HUGE inconvenience of both my time and money!

I totally disagree with the other rating. The staff and him seem to have a great relationship (especially him and his nurse). They always get back to you the same day and your get in on time. He is generally very busy but always makes time if you need to see him. Very smart, answers all my questions, WONDERFUL doctor. I would recommend him to anyone.

Really rude--would never go back. He didn't introduce himself, was arrogant, and didn't even look at me when talking. His social skills need a little work, to say the least. I left a complaint with the front desk and the receptionists even concurred with my opinion (wholeheartedly, too!) One even jumped out of her seat--it sounds like this guy not highly regarded by many. Stay away if possible and don't look back if you have the misfortune of seeing him. He was not very kind, did not listen, and showed no concern for his work or patients. I wonder how people like this make it through med school. What a terrible experience! I can't imagine he has a very happy life...so, I do feel sorry for him.
