Patient Reviews
Oct 12, 2022
Dr. Know-It-All does not care about his patients, just the money! He has no bedside manners and pushes his experimental drugs on people for fibromyalgia, whether they have it or not. He always starts out scheduling his new patients all kind of surgeries, that are not needed. That must be where he makes his money. I don’t know how he has any patients as rude as he is. The majority of his patients must come from other doctors referring patients to him just for surgeries. He was the worst doctor I have ever had. As someone else said in his review, RUN, don’t even walk away from him.
