He's rude, condescending, and has no bedside manner! He's very quick to judge without asking questions. I have no desire to tolerate a man that I have to wait an hour for, doesn't listen to me, and then acts like a complete jerk. I wouldn't go back to him (was a patient for about 2 yrs) if he was the last endocrinologist on earth!
