This Dr. Thinks he knows , but in all reality it's just a guessing game with him in almost 30 yrs. I was told how high my blood pressure was once, and that was by a staff member. All he would say is it's a we bit hight but never said how much a we bit was. Then when I had a heart attack I managed to make it the hospital , were I was sent to Sudbury by ambulance, had 2 stents put in and was finally put on heart medication and blood preasure pills. And he is getting worse by the minute . He is about as useful as a one legged man at a kicking
contest, he should be reported to colledge of physians and surg.

He does not care for his patients all that matters to him is the money in the wallet.

This doctor is not helping anyone. I’ve seen him for back pain and he’s giving me medication that causes suicidal thoughts and never told me about it. I took the medication for years and almost ended my life because of it. I’ve seen him about a neck injury and he didn’t examine me just wrote out a prescription and told me to get physiotherapy . The therapist I seen wouldn’t touch me and told me to get x-rays on my neck something my doctor should have done. Even after the x-rays the physiotherapy wouldn’t touch my neck because of how serious of an injury it is. I had a serious injuries to my stomach as well and something popped in side it . When I seen him about it he would just say I don’t know what that would be. Never helped me at all I had to bring in a family member to witness he’s behaviour and call a lawyer in order to get some kind of medical treatment. Now I’m sick physically and mentally with still no help from him.

Awful experience on more then one occasion. Doesn't listen or have compassion anymore. I went in with herniated disks and was told to work out more. My aunt went and complained of her back and legs and couldn't walk during covid, he gave her pain meds no further testing. She died the next day due to a blood clot. Has been my family doctor since I was really little and derostered me without warning or issuing any papers. Now left with no medical.

This doctor should be sued. My friend has stage 4 cancer with two months to live because this freak wouldn't send her to other doctors. Kept telling her to see an allergist. Nice job murderer.

We agree with a lot of the negative reviews. This doctor IS arrogant and rigid and unapproachable. He stubbornly goes with HIS beliefs and criticizes or ignores specialists if he disagrees with them. We have caught him in many obvious mistakes and he will never apologize or acknowledge that - dangerous!

Awful, has been very careless with many individuals. Ignores glaring issues and fails to take patient and caregiver concerns seriously until they cannot be ignored because other specialists become involved. People (multiple) have suffered significantly because of his carelessness. Did you know cancer was a serious and life threatening condition? Avoid him if you can!

Not as empathetic as I would prefer. Reliable and knowledgeable.

Moody. Appears to depend on the day. Some days he appears upbeat and friendly, other times he is extremely arrogant and condescending. Belittles other physicians whose opinions he disagrees with. Extremely conservative and rigid. Seems unwilling to investigate new treatments and medications.
