Patient Reviews
Sep 28, 2016
He is a great Dr and has been around a long time. He does not beat around the bush, which helps me. He encourages me to be more proactive in my health. I am trying back on track. At times, scheduling is an issue. I showed up twice for appointments that were "bumped" as they called it..meaning cancelled and moved 2-3 months away without notifying me. OTHERWISE he is great with my diabetes and his nurse is awesome! She goes the extra mile to help too
