I was a patient of his from Sept. 2009 to March 2010. I have been suffering with lower back pain for the last 3 years, after going through 4 other doctors, a friend recommended him. I went to see him and at the time he was real nice and his examination was thorough. He sent for a bunch of MRI's and a EMG. They all showed that I had arthrits in my lower spine and sever nerve damage. He started out by giving me lumbar injections to try to kill the pain which did not work, after the forth injection, which again did not work, his attitude changed, he became rude, always cutting me off while i was trying to speak to him, always saying to me ""Don't you understand english?"" Well being born and raised in this country I think I do! Finally he said he was going to try Radio Frequency Ablation on the affected nerves he started with the left side of my spine and then in 3 weeks the right. When he diid the first one everything seemed to be good the pain was less and i was starting to feel better, but it only lasted a week by the time he did the other side all the pain was back, which seemed to aggrivate him, bvut anyway, he did the right side and told me to come back in a month. So when I finally went back to him I was still in pain, and he asked me to show him where it was hurting the most show I showed him the hip areas, he told me it was probaly bursitis and he does not treat that, for one if read my file he would have known my family doctor already checked for that and found nothing, so I told him that and he said to see an Orthopaedic Surgeon, and again if read my file he would have known I went to see one already and she found nothing wrong with my hips. So finally he said that there was nothing more he could do for me because I was not a candidate for surgery.
Pros: Staff are great!
Cons: does not listen, moody, ignorant extremely long waiting time
