Office is clean. Tries to see patients on time. he was good. He is not an 'expert" and told me the doctor I had been seeing knew more than him..but for a common and not rare problem he is a qualified nephrologist. I am sure the average patient would be quite satisfied. I have a rare condition that is hard to treat and diagnose the source..he may have to refer me out to an environmental medicine hopsital as he agreed there are NO environmental doctors in my area.NONE.. (Envronmental doctors deral with toxicity to hwavy metals--lead--arsenic--water toxicity-aspestos..not easy to find )....But in general was SATISFIED

Well, I’m not sure my review will be positive or negative coz I wasn’t treated. I have pain in my lower back and had a history of almost developing kidney stones and the pain is similar now. After telling those symptoms to my general doctor, she send me to nephrologist for sonogram to see what’s the problem. I came to the office, they examined my recent urine and blood results, doctor asked me couple questions and said that sonogram is not necessary. That what I experience is just muscle pain. I asked him to do sono just to make sure everything is really looking good and so I’m 100% sure that there’s nothing going on, but he refused. Left the office confused whether I should listen to him and do nothing or should I go see another doctor.
