"I hesitate to refer to this man as a physician, and cannot, in good conscience, recommend him. He accused me of being an alcoholic when my liver enzymes were out of whack, and refused to believe that I do not drink alcohol, because of my medication. Told me my numbers looked like what he would see in an alcoholic on a Saturday night in the ER!

I responded that my receiving good medical care depends on my being honest with my doctor. He laughed, and called me a liar. I left immediately, found a new physician, and learned that my medication levels were toxic, and had damaged my liver and kidneys.

I had severely sprained my ankle, and he refused to even look at it, when I voiced my concern. It required surgery to heal properly. He is rude, arrogant, extremely condescending, and seems threatened by informed, intelligent patients. I would advise asking for a new doctor immediately if he walks into your hospital room, and would never refer anyone to his office!"

Asshole! I hope he gets fired and loses his license.
