I encountered him when I was a patient at Valley Hospital. His bedside manner is gruff and unprofessional (despite the fact that he takes the time to remind you every other sentence of his years of experience). He doesn't care what you have to say or other doctors have to say and when you ask him a question which calls into question his pronouncements he merely says that he doesn't have time for this and walks away. He makes absolutely everything adversarial. I don't understand why a man like him is allowed to practice medicine or allowed to interact with people in general.
They ignored my questions and my appointment seemed rushed. Their staff was not friendly at all, I didn't feel welcome there. I feel like my appointment was pointless. None of my questions were answered, nothing was accomplished, and I felt worse when I left. Wanted to charge me for my records, the doctor cares about one thing, MONEY...go any place other than this rude money hungry dim witted poor excuse for a doctor and a disgrace to his proffesion
