You need to pass on this doctor. Not only does he have the personality of a tree stump in the winter snow, his medical skills have to be suspect. He and his staff do not pay attention to details — I am on 4 medications and have been for a number of years. The dosages have been tweaked by other doctors until everything was just right. When I transfer to him, he and his staff get them all screwed up, inadvertently re writing them all wrong. And this last summer, my prescription plan starting requiring a preauthorization, they totally dropped the ball on that, resulting in me having a horrible month without that medication while the preauthorization was being done. If they had taken care of it when I first asked them, it would have been a smooth deal.
And my wife had bad experiences with him as well. Several times she called to make appointments to come in, only to have the assistant try to diagnose her over the phone, then tell her she really didn’t need to come in. Sinus infections are viral and there’s nothing the doctor can do for you? Give me a large break! !!! And he really screwed up in his feeble attempts to treat her Type II diabetes. His tweaks of her metformin did her absolutely no good. When she started having foot pain, he totally missed the fact that she was Type II diabetic, and wanted to send her to a orthopedic surgeon! !! What? … On her last visit to this guy, he asked her if she didn’t agree with his plan, what did she think was causing the pain? Maybe diabetic nerve damage! ! He excused himself from the room for a few minutes then sheepishly returned, and told her she «could go ahead» and see the endocronologist she had an appointment with. Well, thank you for your permission, you imbecile. And by the way, one visit to that doctor worked wonders.
Like I said, avoid this guy. If you’re sick, call me instead. I could probably do a better job.
