This guy is dangerous...He falsifies medical records on patients to make them look like there's not wrong but puts in authorization for procedure to get paid after ...orders a bunch of x rays at UMI of Inglewood so they can get paid too...his buddy works there...don't go there either...he has you waiting for hours and the staff in there is rude and weird I mean really really weird...like they're scared to breathe...if you're looking for a Dr to care for you stay away from him...so glad I recorded my whole visit due to my memory...cause other than that I'd have no proof that he's a nasty uncaring lying quack and all the lies he put in my medical records...I pray God and my attorney stops the man! HE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!
