Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Bedside Manner is Awful
He was very rude and condescending. He acted as though he was in a hurry and that all my questions were stupid. He raced through explaining next steps while his nurse just stared at me. He acted very annoyed with my questions and was extremely cold when I cried and tried to explain my fears/concerns. I was in tears for awhile after I left. I would not recommend him at all.

If you really talk to him he will answer all your questions. He is very busy because he wants to help as many people as he can and he focuses more on solving the problem.

Belittled what I was there for. Acted like I was a stupid woman for wanting answers to several abnormal test results. Was told he was “the” breast surgeon in Rockford only to find he has no compassion nor desire to get answers. I do NOT recommend him to any woman who is scared for her health as he shows no inclination of caring beyond what insurance will pay for. He may be a brilliant surgeon, but his bedside manners are horrendous. I left in tears.

About Me

biography

My philosophy of care is based upon a multidisciplinary approach and constant communication with all members of the breast care team. Patients need to be partnered with in their care, and that treating them involves caring for the whole body, and not just a part.
