Disappointing. Went to see him about a recent severe upswing in my asthma. Told him this. He saw that I also have eczema, which I have managed for years on my own, and suddenly wouldn't talk about anything else. Told him several times that the information he was giving me was information I already had (it was all utterly basic 'moisturize, keep cool, no wool' that I learned before age 15) and he simply continued to talk over me. Was ushered out of what was supposed to be a 30 minute consult after ten minutes, with zero time spent on my actual issue. He gets a star only because, when I asked, he referred me to another specialist.
All I can assume is that he either thinks his patients are idiots, or he doesn't actually know how to address asthma. Don't come to this man unless what you want is to be talked over with information a child with allergies already knows. read more
