Failed to tell me he was leaving the hospital practice and entering private practice at the point tests were completed and surgery was to be scheduled. After going that far he was out of network for at least 3 months while I suffered. After surgery that went well you don't see him again. He is rude and arrogant and has no empathy. Surgery turned out good but you have to put up with a lot or go elsewhere.
