He was professional & very apologetic for my wait. The paperwork thatI filled out in line did not get to his office. This happened with patients before me so that held up the appointment.schedule. I will definitely recommend him to others.

From check in to check out everyone was friendly and professional. Efficient and pleasant.
April 29, 2015Sally F.Verified patient
Absolute professional, easy to speak with, took his time and was totally candid.

Where do I start. The receptionist at the front desk was rude from the start. When I finished filling out the new patient registration forms that she gave me. I returned & patiently stood at the desk to return them. She refused to even acknowledge that I was standing there? I was so arkward that another receptionist had to step in & asked to help. The doctor did not really listen to my questions or concerns & just over talked me. He was fairly friendly but seemed disinterested in really getting to the bottom of my pain & injuries. I am suffering from internal pains. Why stick with an X-ray when MRI shows everything & blue cross is paying for it?
