This provider was the anesthiologist when my son (a 6 month old) had to have a simple outpatient procedure. He attempted 5 sticks to get an IV without telling me...as a medical professional myself I know that there is never an excuse for any one person to stick any patient, let alone a baby 5 times unless it is an emergent situation, which this was not. When I asked to speak with him after I got my baby back from surgery and discovered all the bruises...he was very rude and gave no explanation or apology for his actions. I do NOT recommend using this practioner for any reason.
