In patients' words
"I don't recommend him cause he doesn't care for you after surgery he doesn't listen to your complaints... I was severely dehydrated I could have died if I had listened to him."
— Vitals (Patient review of a General Surgeon)"The ER was chaotic, unsafe, and inefficient, with patients waiting for hours without relief. The staff were unprofessional, sometimes yelling at patients and failing to communicate or listen."
