    Verified patientVideo visit
    Honestly I’m kinda surprised by all the positive reviews. Maybe he had a bad day, but I felt dismissed in a non compassionate way. I feel like he had no personality or good bedside manner. No gentleness. Would not recommend. He pretty much told me he couldn’t help me.
    Video visit
    Told the doctor at the beginning of the session that I needed to start treatment asap as my condition has been debilitating. I even informed him of the medication that has worked in the past. We sat for 30 minutes, made a plan that made sense and I thought sounded good despite him trying to push multiple medications on me that I told him I did not want to try. At the end of the appointment, with the plan made and good to go he tells me to go get a second opinion and come back. Meanwhile, he was my already like my second opinion, which he knew. He wasn’t really comforting to talk. Why he did not tell me at the beginning of the appointment that he would not help me without a second opinion despite me telling him I needed help now, because he’s not a great provider.
