"Very arrogant and cocky. I found him to be very unprofessional with his small comments he would make while I was explaining my pain. I did not return to his office after the first visit and has since found an amazing doctor who has been treating my endometriosis better than he did. "

"I wasn’t prepared for the the amount of pain. He explained everything and said that I would be laid up and not to lift anything for a month. Everything I was told was wrong! He doesn’t have any compassion "
