He is very thorough and detail oriented. He listened to all of my concerns and took time to review them all with me. I was very nervous about getting bad news before meeting him. That went away within minutes because of his demeanor and of course finding out I didn't have to have surgery.

I’ve been his l patient since 2011 and has always listened to me. Takes the time to explain any questions I have and more importantly, no matter what I feel so confident being under his care.

Claimed symptoms are not neurological solely based on MRI results, even though all my other specialists believe it is neurological. He said the muscle aches, which I get all over my body, are due to bad posture. He said that my paraesthesia is something I "Just need to learn how to deal with." He told me to see a psychiatrist and eat a better diet.

He answered my questions thoroughly and explained what test results from last October could mean, as well as what was unlikely. He asked a number of questions and listened carefully to my explanation of my issue. He did a number of basic reflex and sensory tests and recommended a panel of blood tests, one of which uncovered an autoimmune abnormality which he recommended be reviewed by a rheumatologist. He responded promptly to test results as they were posted to my chart.
