Their staff is very friendly and professional. I feel like my appointment was pointless. None of my questions were answered, nothing was accomplished, and I felt worse when I left. The office was easy enough to find. I would never visit them again. I was very disappointed. They answered my questions and spent a lot of time with me. I didn't feel like they were trying to rush my appointment at all.

Even after giving the doctor information about my per-diagnosed condition, as validated by blood tests, and after he reassured me my treatments would continue as-is. He didn't follow through. He intentionally gave me false information and wrote prescriptions that did not match my treatment which had been successful for 2 years. I can only imagine he assumed the previous diagnoses was untrue as I saw his notepad which did not reflect reality or blood tests. He also did not rerun the titer test for documented retroviral infection nor do any research on the matter. Within about a month, no longer being treated for my condition, I was hospitalized (common occurance with this virus is seizures and chronic inflammation). After bringing this to the doctors attention he said he could no longer see me as a patient. I am investigating this possibility of a lawsuit but . I highly recommend you avoid this doctor.
