Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He wrote past history verbatim without testing. Only sent for tests about headaches, knowing I had the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck at birth. Ignored that and my disabilities throughout my lifetime. I need a younger doctor willing to order to correct tests for being injured at birth.

Medication given without diagnosis. Ignores you while sitting next to you typing horrible things about you. Stating symptoms incorrect, rude and does not listen.

Terrible personality. Lazy. Doesn’t listen. Doesn’t care. Needs to retire. Ignores syndromes that require testing. Went elsewhere.

Absolutely the worst physician I have ever seen. I am a provider in Toledo and I cannot believe they allow this idiot to practice. Wanted to start Alzheimer's medications with severe side effects on my middle aged family member without appropriate diagnostic testing to rule out other causes of transient memory issues. Never accept a diagnosis from this man. Needless to say, we will not be back and neither should you.

My son's appointment time was 1 pm. At 1:30 the physician came strolling through the waiting room with a bag of chips. At 1:35 we were called back. At 2 pm we were seen. He did remember why we were there although we had seen him just a little over a week before. Said everything looked good, however the condition we were seeing him for has been worsening over the last 3 months. Researching now on my own and canceled all remaining follow ups. Search outside of Defiance without a doubt.
