I'm pretty angry. I didn't get anything useful out of my appointment with this provider. No one will hear anything good from me! This person should not be a family practitioner. They are so rude and unfriendly-I will not be returning! They probably need to update their office equipment sometime soon. Everything seems usable, but is all very old and outdated. The staff here was rude and unwelcoming. Totally not a family environment at all. I would never send my friends or family here. My experience here was truly horrifying. The office is dirty and smells horrible. The staff has an I don't care attitude and even talked badly about another patient to us because the patient was complaining on the phone. I would not be surprised to see this Dr. with his license revoked at some point.

This Dr. is a joke - Sending you from one Dr. to the next with referrals, not helping you. DO NOT SEE HIM. This office smells every time I walk into it too. The walk-in time is a joke. I waited one time for over 3hrs to be seen.

Our experience with this doctor was similar to the first reviewers. Both my husband and I have each attended appointments with our mentally ill adult son. We felt the doctor was rude and did not listen to what we had to say. He yelled at us and told my son not to come back for his follow up appointment in two weeks if he had not lost 10 pounds. He told him to "Shut his mouth!" to keep from eating. I'd like to think this is cultural communication problem but will not allow my family to be treated with disrespect. We are going back only to get the results of his blood work and to get a refill on one of his medications. Our next appointment will be with a different doctor!

It was the worst experience I could have imagined. I was delighted to find a Doctor that was so close to our home, my son's school, and that was accepting new patients and was able to receive an appt within two weeks.We arrived and the office was a little shappy, one TV not working and the one on top of it on and loud along with music over a pa system. The office looked like it needed updated and cheap furniture but thought if the Doctor was good it wasn't a big deal.I had taken my son in for migraines, sinuses, and tiredness. The Doctor abruptly came in, he was very short with his words and kept cutting me off while I was trying to explain his symptoms. He automatically started accusing my son of drugs and tried to kick me out of the room. When my son asked me to stay and told the doctor he would take any test needed to prove he was drug free, the doctor rudely stated we will see if your a liar when the blood test comes back. The asked about cortisone, my son replied "What's Cortisone" and the Doctor yelled to my son "Don't look at me like that, you play sports, you know exactly what I am speaking about,CORTISONE CORTISONE. My son denied steroids usage after I explained it to him and the doctor was still rude and accusatory. He then ordered a physical in ten days and blood work....when I simply asked if the blood work was today, or before the next appt and why did he also need another physical in ten days if he did one today. He started yelling that HE was a doctor and I was no one to question his way of doing things. I tried to explain that I wasn't questioning what he wanted to do just what I needed to do and when so I could understand the process he yelled louder that HE was the Doctor and I should go somewhere else to another Doctor. He refused to answer any questions and was so abrasive I was in total shock. He then stormed out the the reception area and in front of everyone stated I was to find another doctor because he said so......He repeated that he was the Doctor and no one else. We left Horrified. I have never seen such professionalism in my life.
