Horrible provider. Started at Park Nicollet in July and gloated that his patients do not like that he is so direct with them. Truth is, he criticized former endocrinologist for providing poor care, so why does he think he has all the answers during one visit? Very disrespectful in communication toward me. It is either his way or the highway. He seems to think his methods are superior to the former MD I saw for 25+ years, and my A1C is near normal, so I do not know what his arrogant problem is.
