Patient Reviews
Jun 28, 2024
Horrible doctor. Cocky, arrogant and a know-it-all. When I asked what the outcome of his surgical procedure on my neck would be, his response was "if I could predict the future, I'd go to Vegas". No bedside manner or sympathy for patients at all. Very short and rude with this patients too. To anyone considering seeing him, I recommend another surgeon hands down.
