HORRIBLE MAN. SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO SHOW HIS FACE OUT IN PUBLIC.
NEEDS TO BE FIRED AND SHOULD LEAVE NEWFOUNDLAND EVEN CANADA. WE DONT NEED THE LEADS IN ER SETTING THE TONE TO TRICKLE DOWN TO ALL THE OTHER STAFF OF ARROGANCE AND IGNORANCE AND NARSICISSIM. PIG - HE WAS INSULTING NOT ONLY ON A MEDICAL OR CLINICAL LEVEL BUT HE EVEN LOWERED HIMSELF TO INSULT US ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. I DID REPORT MY EXPERIENCE WITH HIM TO ALL AND EVERY VENUE AVAILABLE AT THE HSC BUT HE IS STILL WORKING THERE !!!!!!!!! YOU CAN CHANGE LOCATIONS AND BUILD NEW CLINICS ALL YOU WANT BUT YOU TAKE THAT WONT FIX WHAT IS "REALLY" GOING ON

What an arrogant useless human of a doctor. I don’t understand how he’s even still in the medical profession. I’d say he’s after sniffing that much coke up his head he don’t even realize what planet he’s on. He doesn’t listen, rolls his eyes when patients explain symptoms and Does not give you any sense of calmness that you’ll be ok.

Eastern health shame on you for this useless pig of a so called doctor. Fire him!!!

I work as a medical receptionist, and this poor excuse of a human is the worst "doctor" I've encountered in my entire life. He is so undeserving of a medical license. He should not be allowed to practice medicine nor ever speak to someone over the phone.

This man is a complete and total narcissist with psychopath traits. Do not be fooled by his direct and assuring behaviour. He has no intentions of doing his job and believes no one. For the second time I have been belittled by this man, when coming to him for help. The first time he yelled at me and told me to not come back to the emergency room and eight months later unfortunately bumped heads again. I have been having a lot of complex neurological problems and suffered a stroke 6 months ago(I am only 27 years old.). I expressed to him that his behaviour made me uncomfortable and that he had become agitated when I asked him to do further testing. He was offended that I had said to him that he is partially to blame for the stroke because I came to him with ear and neck pain prior to it and he dismissed me. He then came back and dropped the reason why I had come to the emergency room in the first place and began to attack me personally. When I asked calmly told him he had become to elevated and that I would like a second opinion he threw the triage folder down on the sink and then decided to raise his voice so high the whole emergency room could hear. He then commented on my mental health diagnosis as for the reason we were fighting. I gasped in disbelief and said excuse me do you want to be sued? This man literally yelled yes at me as he was walking away. I then was seen by a very competent and empathic doctor who actually helped the situation. I think this man has surpassed his prime and is a disgrace to be called a doctor. This man needs urgent mental health attention!

Ignorant and condescending. Embarrassed me. I Left the ER feeling humiliated and stupid. Talked down to me. No bedside manner.

No idea how this man is allowed to practise. Rude and dismissive, zero communication skills, incorrectly diagnosed my condition then prescribed the incorrect dosage of meds. Time for him to retire. Terrible doctor,

This is the most ignorant Doctor that I've ever dealt with in my entire life. Do not expect any empathy, only pompous insults.
