Dr. James Nocton, MD

Dismissed my pain and blamed it on anxiety or depression. First visit he was open to trying all new medications and when my medication was not working properly, he blamed it on my anxiety and depression. I stated I wanted to be taken off the medication I was on and he told me we would NOT put me on any other medications to help. Thankful my mother was there with me because she even said, ' If you went alone and told me what he said I would have thought you made that up. I'm glad I was there'. Made me cry in front of his med students and didn't have any empathy. His med students were the ones who locked shocked at his behavior and the ones handing me tissues and apologizing when he left the room. The whole appointment consisted of him telling me I'm making up the pain, and if I believe it's bad it will be bad. Most times I read reviews dismissing them. Do not dismiss these reviews because looking back four years I wish I filed a complaint with the hospital.

Worse Dr ever seen. Dismissed my sons pain as imagined and stress suggesting we see a physiatrist. Dismissed that my son will get sudden fevers that after a couple hours goes away. Also was rude to my son telling him that he can run better then he did for the evaluation and made him do it over. After we left within an hour my son spiked a fever of 102 and was in so much pain he was crying. Did not order any blood work as he said it was a waste. I had it ordered by pcp he did have deficiencies!

Dr Nocton’s behavior was unprofessional and demeaning when I took my daughter for her third visit. You don’t glare and stare down a parent for simply asking for a B12 and vitamin D test for facial flushing which he dismissed. I would never treat one of my clients that way. Going to draw blood anyway. And BTW my daughter isn’t getting arthritis from anxiety. Needs management, listening skills and communication work. Also, take the ego down about 10 notches. Jerk.
