I saw him in 2011 while I was in the physiatric ward when I was suicidal. He knew this. He asked me if I had any siblings. After telling him that I had two older brothers, and I was the baby, his reply (with a smile) was, " Your parents should have stopped at two".
Then when he saw my sad reaction, he began getting angry at me that I found the comment offensive saying, "come on! It was just a joke!!".

Never waste your time with this guy. Awful doctor.

My brain condition and symptoms from my brain condition was suddenly because I was fat and that a Mediterranean diet was good for me. You know like salads with lettuce. So rude. I've had my MRI and I'm still waiting for a call.

Only seemed to be interested in unprofessional unrelated conversations - What I was studying in university, my relationship status (once made a comment about why I was not married), other MS treatments that he had went to seminars about but wouldn't be suited for me (in his own world!). Was more concerned about my attitude towards life than ordering or reviewing any test results. Every time I saw him he seemed to have a complete opposite opinion of a treatment than he did 6 months previous. Was always 20-45 minutes late taking me into an apt. and continually was unprepared (didn't look and my file in advance and hadn't reviewed MRIs). The last time I saw him he insisted that I hadn't been there in almost a year and a half (I go every 6 months) because he didn't have any notes regarding my last apt.

I do Not have a "seizure Disorder.
I have had MULTIPLE Head Injuries from 8 months of age through to my most recent concussion at 56 yrs of age (23 mnths ago).

Told me to go home and watch kung fun panda, that it would give me the answers I needed. From every female patient Iknow that has seen him he asks them all to strip, even if its not nnecessary.
I never went back, my family doctor had a meeting with him and tore him up..how dare he treat a patient like that!
