He is very professional and explains very clearly what he wants to say.

April 24, 2025Daniel G.Verified patient

i am never going back to this doctor. He was rushed, did not care about my problems, was dismissive, and commented on my “cute” appearance which is just weird. He had an attitude and was sarcastic. Staff was talking about my medical records out loud in front of other patients and in front of me thinking i didn’t understand them. I arrived 20 minutes before my appointment with only one person ahead of me and did not leave until an hour and a half later because everyone in the office had no regard for me.

If you are young, do not come to this doctor. He will rule everything out to be anxiety and will not bother to check anything further. Before even performing the physical exam, he started to ask me questions about my life and my relationship with my family, as if he was a psychologist or something... I obviously got frustrated about it and he told me that my reaction was not normal and I should seek a psychiatrist. I have never had any mental issues in the past, nor do I have them now. I insisted that he take a look at my neck ultrasound, since my lymph nodes were enlarged. He tried to avoid looking at it saying that he did not have that ultrasound, so I quickly called the radiology office to have the results sent over to him. He then told me my lymph nodes were not big enough, and that "everyone" has lymphocytosis. I then asked him to give me that statement in writing, which he did not do. I guess he wasn't so sure about his statement after all.
