NO compassion.and Greedy. Don't go in expecting compassion, as this guy is devoid of relating on that level. He is knowledgeable. My biggest irritations are that he never has seen me on time for an appt. Then, too, he is greedy. He makes you come in for an office visit to refill routine prescriptions. When asked why, he says he won't call in the prescription, because that's not fair to him. So, be prepared to waste time waiting for him to see you for a routine refill of ongoing medication treatment.\r
I think he overcharges for a 15 minute cursory visit. He doesn't care if you are paying out of pocket, cash.\r
He is smart. That is true. If you can get by his narcisstic, it's all about him attitude.\r
One thing, Dr. Noble, please put some pleasant pic's up in the waiting area. Your wife's paintings may have sentimental value to you, but they aren't pretty or interesting or good to most viewing them.\r
Check out Dr. Maia Hightower in Oakland. She's skilled and caring and organized.
