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.

Horrible doctor
Worst doctor I have ever seen. Demeaning, offensive, and after being yelled at for at least 5 minutes I walked out. And then he had the nerve to have his office call me for a follow up. I would have liked to hit him. He made very angry comments about him having $180,000 in debt . What does that have to do with my diabetes? Horrible doctor. Doesn’t listen, just stares at his laptop and makes rude comments. I hope he doesn’t have a practice much longer.

Very by the book. He is very smart, but made me feel like a case number, and not a real person. Refused to order a full thyroid panel because it was “not needed.” Disregarded all of my symptoms and insinuated that I was just an anxious woman. Went to a different endocrinologist and found I had an autoimmune disease.

I'm only leaving a 1 star because none isn't an option. I've personally seen him as a patient and helped him in clinic as I work for the organization. Both were terrible experiences. I have a genetic condition which breaks down my bones sooner than most women my age. So I have Osteoporosis. He claims I don't, and had me get 3, yes THREE bone density's from 2 different organizations in order to clarify my diagnoses. When all 3 had the same exact results, he tells me its false and the radiologist don't know what their doing. Say what?!?! 3 different tests and different radiologist and still he refuses to treat me because "its false". No Sir, just because my case is rare doesn't mean it doesn't exist. He has terrible personal skills with his patients or staff. He is very rude and treats both staff and patients as if you're an idiot. I would never send my worst enemy to him.

Horrible, horrible doctor! He was reasonably nice on my first visit and during my biopsy. But refused to run all tests necessary for thyroid and was extremely rude on my third visit and accused me of trying to use thyroid medication to lose weight. He said he didn't have any test results since a year prior. My question was, "How did you even know I needed a biopsy?" since that decision was based on testing only a few months prior? He was very, very rude. The worst experience with any physician!
