Patient Reviews
Jul 24, 2025
The doctor did not listen in appointments, which was clear when reading the patient notes in the portal. I was gaslit all before my surgery while being made to track down my own medical paperwork for them. When it was taking too long and the numbness was going from my foot all the way up my leg I started pleading with the office to just resend me for the tests they needed and they flat out refused saying 'Your insurance probably won't pay'.. didn't even attempt it though. I was made to sit in pain with no help or assistance and literally told to 'go to the ER' if I was in pain. Wouldn't send my dog to this Doctor.
