Dr Richard Dietzen
One of the crudest and rudest Doctors, I have ever met. One day when he was talking to me in the exam room. He slammed his notebook down on the table, cursing the Governor of the state that I live in. He used the Lord God's name after a curse word, and right before he Governor of Arkansas' name in one sentence. I asked him to apologize to me for using this type of behavior and language in front of me. He refused to apologize. I stood up and told him that he is fired from being my doctor. Then I walked out. He told me that I can't just walk out of the exam room while being his patient. I said just watch me. Dietzen is one of the crudest and most rudest people I have ever known. He needs to have his medical degree revoked.
