"At my last visit he told me that it was not medically possible for stress to cause my symptoms to flare. He acted like he did not believe anything I was telling him."

"The worst doctor I have ever seen. Language barrier, does not explain anything... Terrible bedside manners. Just walked out when he was done, and not saying a word."
