Patient Reviews
May 13, 2021
HERE is the kind of doctor he is: many years ago, I was fired from my job and left without medical insurance. After returning to America from living abroad, arriving VERY ill, I called his office, in desperation. Rather than dismiss me because I had no money to pay for an office visit, he personally got on the phone and told me to get down to his office asap. He saw me immediately and gave me a THOROUGH exam, at which point he diagnosed me as having DOUBLE PNEUMONIA. He ordered antibiotics, a steroid and put me on complete bed rest. When I told him that I didn't have any money to pay him for the office visit, much less the medications, he not only told me not to worry about paying him for the office visit, but he provided me the medications FREE OF CHARGE. He called to check on my progress every few days, until I made a full recovery. A year later, I was re-hired and my medical insurance reinstated. I returned to his office to finally pay him. HE REFUSED PAYMENT.
