This physician is remarkable! As to how he can assess, evaluate, and render treatment all the while standing way across the exam room from the patient is beyond my comprehension. I got way better medical and bedside treatment from his PA-C than ever from him. Initially, I thought this guy could care for all my chronic medical problems inc. my diabetes, my hypertension - but as soon as I wanted him to address my L4-L5 instability and pain, everything changed. If anyone went to his clinic c/o any type of pain, you were automatically labeled a "Narcotic Seeker" and were treated with digust. During one appointment I even overheard another of his PA-Cs tell a nurse to tell me that if I was there to be seen for pain, I would not be seen by that PA-C. My medical chart was even flagged as being a "Narcotic Seeker". My biggest regret was staying with that clinic (ARC) longer than I should have. Afterall, isn't your PCP supposed to make you feel better rather than like s***?
