Patient Reviews
May 08, 2025
SOCI -I didn't mind he was late to the appointment, but to not introduce himself to the patient nor acknowledge my presence as the family care giver was uncomfortable. He wouldn't even look at me which was weird, until my family member introduced me. However...My goal was to help my family member get the care they needed, get a plan and get them out of pain. I thought maybe he was having a bad day.-didn't reference the pages of SOCI questions of health history, even when I mentioned he might want to look at them.-didn't have a transcriber in the room and was not really listening to what we were saying. He was inaccurate and aggressively twisted what I said - which was very strange.-felt like he didn't want to do any procedures, because he didn't have time and wanted to leave.He made a comment under his breath about the insurance and dismissed coverage.I found him to be arrogant, dismissive and passive aggressive. I had to ask multiple staff members if he was a doctor.
