"8/2024 - My father was seeing Dr. Creelman for awhile until the office closed several months ago. I found Dr. Creelman to be very abrupt. I think it was best that he go back to a teaching position, instead of seeing patients. My father is seeing someone new now. He was very overmedicated. He was also admitted to a hospital in Melbourne, and found to have Vascular Dementia. This was never mentioned as a possibility by Dr. Creelman. "

"I set appointment April 17, 2023 for an appointment. I had to wait 3 months to get in July 17, 2023. They just called today with less than a week to go for my appointment, long-awaited, to cancel citing they are not taking new patients at this point. It is not only horrendous business practice but HIGHLY UNETHICAL!"
