"I've only seen him at the seminar. I was impressed. He patiently asnwered questions. I had been to 1 other seminar and found his to be MUCH more informative.rnrnrnI am now post surgery. I feel he is very knowledgeable and competent but has very little consideration for his patients TIME!!!. He didn't speak to my family after the surgery and didn't come to see me for 24hrs after the surgery. He made his rounds after 8pm every night that I was there. Wanted to d/c me at 8pm at night ( 2 hr drive home-- no pharmacies open) He let me stay that night and then didn't come back in to write the d/c order until 1:30 pm the next day. Being a nurse myself-- I can sense tension between the staff that works for him when he is around. He must be hard to work with."

When I had a problem with my drain-- the nurses told me to "tell him when he comes back in tomorrow" instead of DOING THEIR job and calling the MD. One of my nurses even said to me (in front of my 8 and 12 yr old girls) "one woman went home and took a shower and died! Yep, she was discharged and they found her dead in her shower"--- This is only PART of my gripes. I am an RN and feel that maybe they expected me to take care of myself. I emptied and measured my own urine, and JP drain. ............"
