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.

Denied me birth control
I went years ago to him, and he denied giving me birth control and was incredibly rude the entire time. I, years later, am still in shock by his attitude and behavior towards me,

Mansplaining anyone?
He mansplains so that is why I had to go to three more physicians to find one I with whom was delighted to connect. I’m glad he quit or whatever.

Worst physician appointment I have every had! His pompous demeanor doesn’t overshadow the way he demoralizingly spoke to me during the appointment. 4 years of back pain that had recently gotten worse, additionally other symptoms started to surface and caused me to seek a same day appointment. Spleen came to mind, due to the intense pressure after eating piercing through to my back and intense pain that woke me up at night. At its worst I cannot eat. I was hoping to do some tests to rule out my concerns. He proceeded to tell me after a jokingly minimal exam that test only confuse people (indirectly suggesting I was confused or an idiot I guess), said he did not want to do down the rabbit hole of doing more tests, though the last ones I had were 3-4 years prior, ruled it out as musculoskeletal pain. I’ve been in post-rehab and fitness for over 25 years. There was zero evidence to rule it as musculoskeletal via the exam or symptoms. I exercise regularly without any bearing on the pain.

His answer-I can't refer because I did not see you-You were not available,had to see someone else but you are my primary.Don't have a serious problem otherwise, it will just linger can't get a referral outside (no immediate appts for specialist would have to wait 2 weeks for a neurological problem). Results and responses are so routine you have arthritis;after not having any problems before I injured my hand.He and Healthspan are a joke.I wouldn't refer him if my life depended on it. Don't!!!
