He was the Gastroenterologist for my disabled friend during a period of time that she lost over 100 lbs. and could not keep food or liquid down. I ultimately went to an appointment with her to make sure he understood that she was not able to eat and keep down any food or liquid for the past many months (she had told him that at several previous appointments). When I questioned him as to whether there may be a blockage, he simply brushed me off saying it was Gastroenteritis (the same diagnosis he had given her for the past year). He continued with this diagnosis even though she could not drink the liquids required for a colonoscopy. I was concerned enough to bring her into the emergency room where she was admitted. An ultrasound was performed and a complete intestinal/bowel obstruction was diagnosed. Ultimately, the blockage was determined to be very advanced stage colorectal cancer, which had spread to several other internal organs. Upon consulting with a surgeon to remove the blockage, emergency surgery was performed, and the blockage either burst into her abdominal cavity before or during surgery. This caused sepsis (her toxic/cancerous bowel contents were emptied into her abdominal cavity) and she died a week or so later when should was unable to recover from the sepsis. The whole time I interacted with him, both at his office, and at the hospital, he was smug and unapologetic. I am in the process of contacting the medical board to have his conduct reviewed for malfeasance. Go to him at your own risk!
