I was seeing a great doctor, but on the recommendation of a friend I decided to switch doctors and start seeing Dr.Putman. I saw him over a period of several months and found him and his wife Meg (who works for him) to be not only rude, but uncaring. I was very concerned about side effects I was having from a med that he prescribed when I tried to explain this to him his EXACT words were...""This subject is not up for discussion."" A few minutes later still very worried I tried again to ask him a question about the meds. His response was ""As I have already stated this subject is off the table."" Every time I saw him he would repeatedly cut me off mid sentence and just give me statistics, facts and figures. He is obviously a VERY left brained person. In the end I went back to my old doctor and appreciate him more than ever. He cares about me and understands that I have feelings, emotions, and worries. I would advise anyone who is sensitive and has emotional probs to run from Dr.Putman as he will only make you worse by not treating your concerns seriously and hurting your feelings.
Cons: Doesn't care about patients
