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 was very clear about his recommendations as well as treatments.

Do not see this doctor, he is rude and dismissive.
He is unprofessional, does not care about his patients and does not listen. Do not see this doctor. It's embarrassing that a cardiac center would choose to have him on staff representing the care at Mercy General. I will never take my family back there because of his lack of attention, lack of concern and unbelievable lack of care. Mercy General should be embarrassed to have him on staff.

Don’t See This Doctor
I got to the campus super early and still got lost trying to find the office. I still arrived with 5 minutes left before my appointment was given away. He refused to see me. I had to miss work and he refused me a doctor’s note. I was told he was behind so he couldn’t see me. I don’t have unlimited time to miss from work this late in my pregnancy. So with him refusing to see me and his staff being unhelpful I broke down and started crying. The stress of running around a hospital 9 months pregnant then being turned away gave me some pretty intense Braxton hicks. I wanted to be seen before I give birth. Whatever you do don’t waste your time seeing this doctor. He has no compassion.
