"Not a great experience. Saw the Dr once suggested surgery , then could not get a hold of him again for a couple of questions. It’s very hard to get anyone on the phone for questions, it either rings all the time or it goes to vm. When I finally did get through they said I needed to talk to some woman . Let messages for her but she didn’t call back, I finally got a hold on her and she was very rude, wanted to know if I was going to schedule the surgery or not. When I explained I had a few questions she got extremely agitated and then hung up on him. I was able to find another Dr , and had a much better experience. Do not go to this Dr , too many red flags with him and the office."
