Nice doctor, efficient, and cuts to the chase. Very nice nurse also who was apologetic about the longer than expected wait time. Doctor scheduled two needed procedures and we felt well-taken care of, so wait time was not an issue for me.

Doctor was of zero help. Waited in cramped waiting room which appears to be shared with at least 2 other doctors. Got called back finally, doctor had no insights at all as to help cure my problem (early satiety), offered no advice at all, then sent me to the building across the street to get a blood test (what a hassle - waited forever to get blood drawn), and the doctor never even so much as called with the test results. I feel completely scammed. Waste of an entire afternoon and LOTS of money for no service rendered at all.

I have been feeling really badly lately and am just trying to find answers! I was referred to this doctor through my general physician after blood work came back abnormal.The doctor told me I probably don't have to the two things were looking to get me tested for because of my race. It was really offensive and hurtful. I feel like my symptoms and what I have been going through comes before my race, in the chances of what I am looking for as far as a diagnosis. I left feeling like the doctor thinks I'm fine and it's just in my head and I'm overreacting about feeling really badly. I would not recommend him to someone else.
