Many patients commend him for his thoroughness, professionalism, and ability to provide effective treatment, particularly in diagnosing conditions that other specialists had overlooked. Patients appreciate his calm demeanor and the quick follow-up care he facilitates, particularly when addressing serious concerns like melanoma. However, there are significant criticisms regarding his bedside manner and communication. Some patients describe experiences of feeling dismissed or insulted, particularly regarding weight-related issues, and express dissatisfaction with the overall engagement during their appointments. Complaints also include long wait times for appointments, perceived rudeness from staff, and a lack of personalized care. While some patients feel well cared for and report successful outcomes, others indicate that their needs were not fully addressed, leading to frustration.
