7/8/2025

Great and caring doctor that I appreciate

7/4/2025

Very abrupt and doesn’t fully explain. I was waiting an honest second opinion and to possibly change to Community healthcare. I feel there was a disagreement between him and my present oncologist and he just decided not to get involved. He should have at least gave me his opinion. He seemed very rushed and rude. The whole video visit with him lasted 30 seconds or less. He was 15 minutes late.
