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.

I went to the ER for heart issues and he was everything but helpful, told him I used to smoke and he used that to talk down on me the ENTIRE TIME. No help at all, would rather have dealt with the pain or gone elsewhere. Didn’t talk to me like a human more like an addict. If I could go less than 1 star I would.

He was unprofessional and rude. He had zero bedside manner. If you have him as an attending in the ER, ask for another doctor.

He yells at his patients. I was in to get prednisone to help tapering off after sinus surgery. I complained of chronic neuropathic pain (of which I had already been treated for. I did not request pain meds. He asked me about pain in my spine. I told him I did not have pain in my spine...He does not listen to his patients! My suggestion, call the er before going. If he is working, go to another er!

Very rude, bad bedside manners, treats all patients with a documented, painful medical condition as a 'drug seeker.' Tells them to take ibuprofen for pain associated with gallstones. He shouldn't even be a doctor.
