Patient Reviews

Jan 26, 2023

My mother was his patient for 4 years. On multiple occasions he tried to change her meds to one’s that always left her worse mentally and physically. Every time I would fight Dr R on the change but he ignored and said it had to be done. After the 4th time changing meds, she began projectile vomiting on day 2. I left messages but no call that day. Called next day and they were closed. Mom then had a seizure so we took her to ER. She was in the midst of withdrawals from the meds Dr R took her off cold turkey. I called the office the next day with those details. The office still waited more than 24 hours to call me back agreeing to put her back on her regular meds. Needless to say we moved mom to another doc immediately.
