I want to recommend him....I really do...however, I can't do it until he gets rid of some staff. There is a lady in there who is super nice and helpful, and then there's an evil Cinderella stepsister. She is rude and so not friendly. My favorite is ""Do NOT be late because ""The Doctor"" won't be. He will, in fact, be running on time."" It was all I could do during my 10 minute wait in the waiting room to not go to that counter and say ""Would you like to take back your ""the doctor won't be late"" comment now, or after my appointment?"" But I didn't, so my mother should be proud. \r

As for the actual doctor. Here's the deal, is he rude? Kinda. Is he to the point? Yep. Is he one of those doctors you pray to the heavens above you are never stuck in an elevator with should it happen to get stuck in between floors? You betcha. But is he pretty knowledgeable about certain endocrine disorders? Yeah, I'd say he is. But there was a sort of disadvantage on my end, I went in with my husband after reading the reviews cause I knew should this dr step out of line, my husband would be there to go to bat for me. He wasn't needed though. I'm not sure if it was due to the fact that he really isn't all that scary, or if he and my husband just so happen to have something in common so they chatted up like old football buddies, or if it was the fact that when he asked what he could do for me I was up front and said ""Doc, I'm fat and due to my condition I keep getting fatter..how do I get my hormone levels down to normal so I can work on losing some weight?"" I truly believe that if you go in there all insecure and offended when he states the obvious ""your obese and if you lose the weight most of your issues will go away"" the two of you might not get along so well. But if you really take a moment to realize that this is true and you look back at him and say ""yes I am aware now what can I do to get this under control?"" he will work with you. And you won't regret it. \r

So before you go running for the hills, here is my advice:\r
\r
If you want a good Doctor, he's your man. But you can't be niave and butthurt when he gives it to you straight. \r
