I had been going to Greg's for years. Some treatments helped, some did not. I tried some of the herbs that Greg promoted, with no results. On one occasion, Greg though he could help with an injury by reducing the scar tissue, despite my warning describing my orthopedic doctor's explanation of how the injury heals--by the build-up of scar tissue. He proceeded anyways and set the healing process back several months. At the time, I felt he thought he knew more about the injury than the orthopedic doctor. I let it go, thinking everyone can make a mistake.
The reason I finally decided to switch acupuncturist was I was tired of him bringing up politics every time I went into his office. I tried to politely get him off topic; however, that never worked. I enjoy listening to people with different opinions, especially if there is an exchange of ideas; however, and more importantly, a medical provider appointment is not the time or place.
I spoke to two individuals who also had went to Greg and both stated they had similar experiences. Neither individuals are continuing to see him, and both stated they did not appreciate the political talks and ensuing lectures.
I have never before had an experience like this with a medical provider. On a personal level I've never had a political conversation with someone this obnoxious! Life is too short. My new guy is awesome and I am so glad I made the change! read more
