There are several other reviews here that basically say what I am about to say: condescending, rude, doesn't take any interest in your case.

This "doctor" was willing to diagnose me as having cancer after my biopsy sample was smashed and the test wasn't able to be performed. When I tried to ask some questions about what they were seeing that would make them come up with this diagnosis, she was visibly uncomfortable - gave one word answers, and looked at her computer screen the whole time. Finally, after about four questions, where she gave no real information, she got angry with me, and said "YOU have cancer, and you need surgery to get it out!". I was stunned, and then she further backed me into a corner basically asking me "what my problem was." I told her that I didn't have a complete diagnosis of my situation, and that I needed to get more information to make a decision, since it was a life-altering surgery, and I would have to go on medication for the rest of my life. She dismissed my concern and ushered me out of the office.

I called the lab the next day to find out what happened with the sample - they told me that they had told her that they had come across a second vial of my harvested cells, and asked me if she had told me that. She had not.

I just have to reiterate - this doctor wanted to give me a CANCER diagnosis, without the proper cancer diagnostics. I can't believe that anyone who would call themselves a doctor, much less a specialist, would send a patient for surgery to remove a gland a put them on medicine for the rest of their lives.

If I can say one thing - stay far, far away. This one will be the downfall of Western medicine.
