This is a follow up review to correct my last statements on here. Granted, my first experience with this office was rough but then again I was over sensitive due to my recent surgery. The last few months have been fantastic here and with their PA in particular. They have been flexible and understanding while always looking out for my comfort and long term health. I would certainly recommend this office to others.

I have a 6" incision in my lower spine surgery and my surgeon's pain specialist doesn't take my insurance, so I jumped on Zocdoc and found this guy. To honest, his bedside was not terrible (he was nice enough) but we are in the second day and my pharmacy still hasn't received my prescription. Nobody cares if you're nice in person if you make the patient call back and forth between the office and pharmacy to track down your medication. Nobody from th office will call me back and I'm pretty well screwed. Wait time at this practice was over an hour so all-in-all I would definitely not recommend this place to a friend. I'm back on Zocdoc frantically trying to find someone that can see me today in case this doctor never gets back to me.
