I had a horrible experience with this doctor. He went on an aggressive rant telling me what I DON'T have after very briefly examining me and listening to my list of symptoms. I heard "you absolutely don't have lupus" at least 5 times. He never asked if I had any questions and when I got a chance to ask them anyway he became defensive and didn't have any answers, guidance or compassion to offer. It's so sad knowing there is such a horrible doctor practicing out there. And not only was he a bad doctor, he just had an overall cold, creepy, and robotic-like vibe to him. Very strange and unfortunate.

I have seen him twice and he is the rudest doctor I have ever encountered. He yelled at me for being on meds another dr. put me on. He made me cry, said nothing then left the room while I sobbed. Spent all of 10 minutes with me. Barely listened to me, always cutting me off when I spoke. Then sent me away, telling me to get off my current medications (that are working!) and just take aleve until I can afford the $5000 tests he wants done. Seemed like he was mad that my family dr. treated me because he wasn't. Perhaps his ego was hurt. Please avoid this man and his ego. Find a doctor that is interested in treating you and helping you get better, because if didn't I would still be completely immobile and miserable. Thank God there are doctors out there that care about their patients. This guy is NOT one of them.

Very rude and degrading to his patients. Most of the time he acts like you are wasting his time if you are under the age of 55. He explains nothing, listens to nothing and spends a total of about 2 minutes with his patients. Avoid at all costs!

Very unhelpful. Had a common type of arthritis which he failed to diagnose for over a year, forcing me to St. Louis. I now have deformities and suffered severe pain and loss of function while needlessly waiting for him to perform his medical duties. Avoid him.
