His specialty is sports medicine. I'm sure, pretty well versed in that field, but he has a GP's clientele . Fine for all the little stuff but it presents a problem to any patient who needs a diagnosis of anything less ordinary.
He usually has med students in the room with him. And it seems, as their mentor, he is more concerned about impressing them with his own expertise than in training them. He shows and tells but seldom asks the student for input. Or ask them anything, I believe. It is usually "in my thirty years" or "as long as I've been a doctor" that he professes that, in essence, "hoof-beats always mean horses, never Zebras".
A nice guy who is, sometimes, a CATASTROPHE as a doctor. Patient with complaints out of the ordinary risk that anything Mesa is not familiar with will be labeled with a psychosomatic illness.
He should learn more, listen more, and stop minimizing patient complaints. Somebody is gonna die on his watch because of his skepticism.
