No one EVER responds in a timely manner, life or death situations, they keep you waiting for days/ more like weeks. There's no urgency. He has absolutely no bedside manner. His receptionist Terri, is absolutely difficult to get through to, she's rude, curt and uncaring, as well as McDonald. She is horrible to deal with, someone like that should not be holding that position. Overall it's a very disappointing practice for many, many reasons. Go elsewhere.

He is a knowledgeable patient doctor. Takes time to explain things. When you have pulmonary problems it can be very scary. I trust him
