Ive been sick for over a year, throwing up multiple times a week, if not a day. Tillotson wanted to redo testing that its taken me a year to get done, for no apparent reason, and wouldn't help unless I did, wouldn't even let me try to get the old testing for him to look at. Felt like it was more important for him to get his share of the money ($) than how I feeling. He walked out when I ended up crying because he wasn't going to help me. All this after waiting over an hour AFTER my appointment time when I was there a whole hour early. Unprofessional. Would NOT recommend.
