You wait over an hour because the receptionists ignore you and are going to charge you $142 just to be SEEN and not even get a physical that you were under the impression you were getting, just go eventually be sent back to a room and have a nurse laugh at you while taking your temperature. I expressed how the temperature she read was abnormally high for me and she went back out into the other room and was shouting my temperature numbers and laughing with some other nurse.
I'm already stressed out because I didn't anticipate paying $142 and have a nurse find comedic relief in my temperature, but I am then left waiting in this room for quite awhile, only to be moved to the next room over because the doctor doesn't want to move his computer into that room. I'm in a massive amount of pain at this point so I reluctantly get up and change rooms.
There's no space for social distancing in this office and no effort is made to make it safe or enforce safety. The doctor came in, and I explained my need to get a referral to a neurologist and I am interrupted, and degraded. He tells me that my brain tumor couldn't have been cancerous if I didn't get chemo for it and won't even listen to my history. He expresses interest ONLY in where specifically I got my surgeries, and rolls his eyes when I try to explain the type of tumor and the surgeries I had.
I am insanely stressed out at this point and am fidgeting, which he takes as an opportunity to push anxiety medication. I explain that I am in therapy already to try to help with it, and am then berated and told that no neurologist will help me if I have anxiety because I can't be in an MRI with it.
All I wanted was a script for an MRI or a referral to a neurologist, this doctor continues to interrupt and speak over me, I can't even get a word in on my history. I eventually snap and run the heck out of the room and into the checkout area, where another physician approaches me. She calms me down a little, gets me my refund for my insanely degrading experience, and gives me a phone number to another doctor down the road that she thinks will help me and will get me the adequate accommodations I need to check and make sure my stupid brain cancer isn't coming back.
I've checked out reviews, and this doctor has been accused of malpractice and misdiagnosing, which is exactly the reasons I explained I am uncomfortable around doctors. He and his staff were beyond inconsiderate and he made me feel insanely unsafe, and that's before he sent me into an anxiety attack that kicked in my fight or flight response, because I felt so deeply that I had put myself in danger here.
Other reviews (to which you may find him rebuttal with a poor excuse like how it didn't happen at his office and they have the wrong doctor) include accounts of sexually inappropriate contact, prescribing and pushing medicines that people have already stated they are allergic to, refusing to listen to patients, making inappropriate comments (particularly about women's bodies) and fat shaming / telling people they need to improve their looks to get a boyfriend, violating patient confidentiality, answering personal calls during appointments, and general refusal to listen to and treat patients for the issues they've come in for. You'll also be waiting a few hours to be seen, so don't schedule time off of work for him.
This man is going to get someone killed or seriously hurt someone, and I hope he gets sued. This doctor should not be practicing, because there is no interest in treatment for patients, and patient safety is not even a consideration at his practice.
After my experience today, I absolutely understand and believe the negative reviews. Reconsider this doctor as an option, you will physically, mentally, and financially benefit from it. You are in genuine danger if you work with him. read more
