Great doctor and made me feel very confident. Highly recommend!
Verified patient
He was funny, attentive, very informative and personable
would not recommend, Dr does not listen to you and just had one diagnosis stuck in his head and went with it. I did not argue with him i just agreed and left, will get another opinion that actually makes sense elsewhere.
The appointment felt rushed, and I didn't receive a thorough explanation of my condition. The suggested treatment seemed rather standard, which raises questions about whether my prescription would vary based on the underlying cause. It left me feeling like I was in a business transaction rather than receiving genuine healthcare.
Very good wait time, friendly staff, and very straightforward appointment. I got everything I needed within a few minutes. My prescriptions wil even be delivered to me.
Verified patient
Dr Spend less than 5 minutes with me. Would not answer my questions and walked out of the exam room mumbling something. Worst dr that I have ever seen!

I was called in about 15 minutes after my appointment and was placed in a room. I then waited about 15 more minutes, saw someone. Waited more..etc. But everyone was nice and knowledgable!

Excellent!
Very informative and great bedside manner.
I needed an injection for acne and his hands shook uncontrollably before giving me the injection. I had to stop him and leave without getting it. Very scary. With that said, he was nice?
Verified patient
He was VERY attentive. Made sure the nurses gave me the samples so I didn't have to spend money. Also referred me to another doctor when I asked for info out of his field of expertise. Excellent customer service.
Verified patient
Got the right attention. Highly recommended
Verified patient
Overall the staff was friendly and I felt comfortable with the visit. The wait was a little long, but not bad. I met with Shanah, who was very nice and the procedure performed went smoothly.
My visit with the doctor was very short, but he answered every question I had. He also educated me on my condition. He is very knowledgeable. I actually went to him for a second opinion and wish I went to him first. I wouldn't of had to waste my time going to two doctors, because he is very active in current research and let me know ALL my options.
It would have been great if I got in with my appointment time instead of having to wait an hour and watch 4 other people come in after me and go in before me.
I came in for a treatment and I waited 2 hours!! Nobody should wait that long! He barely looked at me face, didn't tell me the cost of it before the treatment, and just left after without telling me any instuctions! I had to ask for it. I thought he was very rude.
Great!!
