Two months ago I would have given this doctor four stars, but after a very negative, unprofessional experience I honestly cannot give more than two. The pros: he's a fairly knowledgeable alternative medical practitioner and diagnostician, who keeps up with that ever changing field. He does not over medicate and will wean patients off medications deemed unnecessary or harmful, in favor of more natural solutions.
The cons: his staff could be friendlier and more efficient. The pharmacy has had poor response from his office regarding prescription questions. He's apparently too busy to fill out any forms. Should you need one filled, good luck getting it back, also be prepared to be charged $25 for it. He's personable enough during the visit, but can be quite rude on the phone, seems to often speak his mind, regardless of consequences. I can deal with some level of presumptiousness, and self-righteousness, seems to go hand in hand with competency these days, but you don't tell your patients you don't have time to answer 10 easy questions! ..our questionnaire happened to be very time sensitive and very important, and they were made aware of that on several occasions, to no avail. Also, you cannot reach him outside of the office, his staff/answering service told me patients are not allowed to contact him. I know many doctors do that nowadays, but I prefer someone who is more accessible, call me old fashioned, but when you trust your GP you want to be able to get his opinion God forbid an emergency decision should arise.... read more
