Overall Rating: 3.0 2025-06-02

The Surgeon lacks bedside manners and does not communicate effectively with patients unless they have an appointment. There is little to no follow-up during a patient's recovery, and he can be rude when questions are asked. Overall, the office environment is difficult to manage and frustrating to navigate.
