This doctor is rude, and condescending. This doctor doesn't listen whatsoever and interrupts if you attempt to say anything. If you disagree he either calls you stupid or alludes that you are stupid. His own words to me were "I'm blunt", which is an understatement. I WILL NOT USE THIS DOCTOR AGAIN, AND IF YOU VALUE YOUR SELF ESTEEM AND DON'T WANT YOUR DAY RUINED I WOULD SUGGEST AVOIDING THIS INDIVIDUAL.
