Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

DO NOT USE HIM BEWARE
Horrible doctor. Does not listen. Argues with you. Gets weirdly angry and annoyed at you for asking questions. Incapable of listening. Zero bedside manner. Zero follow up. I got my test results online from app 2 hrs after scan and 4,weeks later he says they are still not ready. So he is also a liar. Go anywhere else But here. Read other reviews on him they are awful. Absolutely no compassion in this man. I seriously regret using him. Doe’s the absolute minimum

Almost died due to his neglect
In 2007, he was assigned my GI at Northwest Community Hospital in IL. Long story short, I had multiple perforations and went septic and my abdomen was distended like I was pregnant in my 2nd trimester, I was treat as a Crohn's exacerbation. Thankful my mother transferred me to University of Chicago 4 days later, where I received life-saving treatment. The healthcare team literally used the words "neglect". I spent 1.5 months inpatient, plus home care for an additional 3 months because of his gross negligence. I should have been operated on the day I was admitted, but instead I was give so much IV pain meds at NCH that I had ileus for days before my imaging at U of C could be understood. I had an emergency exploratory laparotomy at 2 am because I was crashing. I will never forgive this doctor or NCH for what they did.

Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Stay far far away from him. He does not care about his patients. Do your homework before deciding on a physician. Ultimately, it's your health and thus guy is to close to retirement to care about his patients. Please, please, do your homework.

About Me

care philosophy

Patients are treated by the severity of the illness, not by the time of appointment. Every patient deserves to be explained in terms they understand about the illness or condition that they have.
