This man is extremely unprofessional and unbalanced. He not only shares other patients medical info with you at times. He violates HIPAA laws on a regular basis even when reminded about those laws. He gets in your face and hollers at you, falsy accuses you of things that are far from the truth, threathens and tries to physically intimidate you. This happened to me on more than one occassion and I am not the only person he has done this too. He has lost staff due to his outbursts. He can come across as very nice and caring at times, especially at first, but eventually the mood swings and his instability will appear. BEWARE, look further for a doctor unless you just enjoy being abused and belittled by this man. As one person you saw him and had a similar experience said, you'd getter better medical care and plain old compassion from you local auto mechanic. I will be reporting him to the medical board as well as contacting an attorney to have him investigated/license revoked.

I called at 9 am and got an appointment for 10:45 am. I arrived on time and filled out the usual 3 pages, paid my copay and waited for 20 more minutes. Once I was called back, the Dr informed me, in a demeaning manner, that "I had violated some kind of contract" and that "we will no longer be your service provider." Seriously!! Do you think they could have told me this before scheduling me for an appointment. I do not even know what the "contract" is and he had the nerve to try and chastise me. It seems like he would be violating a "contract" by turning a patient away.I went to the walk-in clinic and was treated faster and with MUCH MORE RESPECT!!I WOULD KEEP LOOKING IF I WERE YOU!!
