Patient Reviews
Sep 18, 2019
This Dr is kind and soft spoken. He does not push drugs unless he knows they work. I hear from the staff he is so anti drug company he does not even accept samples or free lunches from pharmaceutical companies. He wants to prescribe what is good for the patient not what the reps push and he takes no kick backs at all from these companies.
