Patient Reviews
Jan 31, 2024
He doesn't mince words and can be borderline rude, even to the vulnerable patient or accompanying family. It took me a long time to adjust to his behavior and to recognize that in his own way he was kind. He was also very methodical and thorough, I could tell he prides himself in his work. Unfortunately, I did experience some complications from my surgery. He did not accept these complications as "his problem" and instead I several months visiting other departments all wind to end up back on the table with another colon and rectal surgeon because he stopped seeing patients with Medicaid. If you enjoy the manner of communication where when being explained something there's a sarcastic and almost condescending/playful attitude to it all, he's your guy. Not a bad person by any means. I wouldn't recommend him to friends or family simply because I wouldn't want them to be talked to in a way that would make them uncomfortable when they're in pain and vulnerable.
