Charged me for diagnosing a cancer on my face. He refused to say anything about it during examination, I made the diagnosis before visiting him, the lab confirmed it. He cut only the top of the cancer off and charged me for surgery, then referred me to a plastic surgeon to finish the job. It took over two months before the surgeon he referred could see me. He also refused to diagnose my chronic skin rash with unhealing sores, he prescribed a cortizone which does nothing. I suggested that I might have neurofibromatosis, a genetic skin disease that is directly related to acoustic neuroma that I have been diangosed with. He went off on a huge tangent and said it was not elephantitis (a parasitic disease). Elephant man's disease is only one form of neurofibromatosis, there are many other forms, some resemble my problem. I felt he cherry picked the easy work to do and left the rest for someone else to do. I still have the lesions, he made no diagnosis, that is my proof.
