Patient Reviews
Oct 17, 2021
Staff is non responsive-doesn’t return calls. He sees patients for initial consult and then is impossible to get ahold of for follow up care. If you see him for a follow up appointment and discuss these problems with him, he is quick to anger. It’s terribly unfortunate, because his expertise is valued but his practice is suboptimal. Perhaps being near retirement, he has given up on patient-centered care.
