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.

Rude and doesn't listen
This doctor is very rude. He asks questions and then talks over you when you respond. If you voice concerns or ask for a plan he calls it complaining and insists that you won't follow what you're told. He talks down to you, blames anxiety and yells when he gets frustrated. Completely unprofessional.

Awful experience! Office won’t renew medication refills on time. I had to take my epileptic dad to the emergency room to get his seizure medication. Level of negligence is beyond words! Reaching their office is nearly impossible. You always encounter a automated recording and receive no call back whatsoever…

Incompetent staff
I called 13 times in 3 weeks leaving messages not once did they answer not once did i get a return phone call! I took 2 months for my ocp to get my notes from one visit so i could see another doctor! I had an appointment for a telehealth visit at 10:30 this morning it's now 6pm no call surprise surprise. On my last visit after a 2 week migraine the doctor actually told me to quit feeling sorry for myself!

I have been calling the office for the last 3 business days and have yet to have a return call. Cannot get a live person on the phone - always a recording and there is no return call from the voicemails I leave.

He didn't care to follow through with my sister's horrible migraines and the only medicine that works for her. He promised he would help her get that medicine through her insurance, but then bailed out on her. She was unable to get a hold of him and he ordered his staff to break the news to her. On top of that, his staff members are oblivious with how to do their job. Don't trust this guy! He doesn't care about his patients. Go to someone else!

Don't get multiple sclerosis and ever want an answer if you have to go to the hospital. He is unreachable after hours and literally told me he didn't care. He really doesn't. I thought my dad was going to fight him when I was in the hospital. The disheartening thing is we auto immune patients really don't have a whole lot of options here.

He was very short with me, nasty and wouldn't let me talk. When I tried to answer the questions he asked me he would cut me off and not let me finish. I will NOT be returning to his office!!!
