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.

Bad just really bad
I told the doctor my symptoms and he refused to run any tests that could have helped me instead he went with a totally different route when I wasn’t even having symptoms in the area he used to diagnose me. He acted like I was just trying to get pills because I said I had malabsorption and the medicine he prescribed wouldn’t work nor was needed. I truly didn’t need any medication I needed to be examined and possibly even helped the issue by running different tests that pertained to my symptoms as I have had the same issue two more times for it and had to have emergency surgery. He told me before any of my tests were done that he knew I didn’t have what I was saying was going on. I was discharged home with the issue still getting worse and with him stating “he was going to give me any different medicine that he already sent to pharmacy and that’s final” he is definitely not one that needs to be in his position.

If I could give ZERO stars, I would. He is the worst doctor I have ever seen. Didn't care to help me. Was rude, has horrible bedside manners. I actually had to return to the ER within 2 hours because my problem persisted. HORRIBLE. And I was sent 2 bills for his incompetence.

This physician needs to go back to the school on how to treat people. He obviously has better things to do than treat patients. If you aren't dying and have a choice, find someone else. He did not come in to the room until we asked the nurse, who was about to discharge us without seeing the doctor, that we wished to see him. He told her to tell us that he is too busy to come see us now but that he would see us at some point. Once he did come in, he told the patient that sometimes wrist pain just happens and there was really nothing to be done about it. He didn't ever look me or the patient in the eye. It was a terrible experience. I was under the impression that physicians care.....NOT THIS ONE
