He was very thorough. Made me feel better because he didn't just assume that I wasn't asymptomatic just because usually a person with my disease doesn't feel pain. I felt like he really listened to me.

Great doctor! Extremely experimental
December 19, 2016Talia Q.Verified patient
I felt as if i wasn't really being listened to. He ordered a bunch of tests - none of which could be done in house and were very expensive. After seeing a different doctor, none of these tests were necessary.

He is very personable and explains medical conditions in a manner that is easy to understand. There was a mix up in the appointment. His staff did not inform him that he had a morning appointment. He usually only worked in the afternoon on Mondays, so that is why the long wait. He apologized.
