Patient Reviews
Aug 07, 2025
I took my husband there as a referral and not a choice. I would never take my husband or anyone else, for that matter, to see him again. He doesn't give one on one care, he will tell you but you cannot talk, he cut me off when I was trying to tell him we were going to take my husband to my cardiologist who woud give better care. Couldn't get any of that into the conversation because he told me I was nasty! Upon leaving he told my husband that I was mean. We are elderly and deserve better care than that. No attention always training a Nurse Practitioner during our visits too. She got more attention than we did!
