November 22, 2025Daniel N.Verified patient
If you value bedside manner at all, please look elsewhere. He was very rude and lacked any semblance of humanity. The PA, MA and front desk staff are lovely though. He wasn’t able to help me with my issue but that’s alright, I don’t blame him for that as my issue is a bit of a medical mystery. Overall, do not recommend. You can find a doctor who happens to be kind and good at their job simultaneously.
