I would never recommend this doctor. He is not a well educated, up on the research, internal medicine provider. Whatever the website page on him claims,(who knows when the bio was updated for accurate, current information) his practice methods are stale, he cops out of providing pretty basic care for patients with well established care. This guy has been nothing but crotchety and one time I brought my spouse because I knew he’d be less of a jerk. I was right. His style also smacks of him fearing a remote possibility of committing medical malpractice. It’s bizarre. One of my doctor’s thinks he’s a jerk to inconvenience me. The point of going to an internal medicine doctor is so you don’t have to see 3 or 4 doctors total. He can’t treat inflammation, muscle spasm or continue a patient on a well established mode of treatments proven by doctors for years prior to coming to Seattle. It’s always«see a specialist,» but he’ll say — let me order you blood work every 3-months within PacMed(no other doctor’s I see are in PacMed) even tho I’m going to refuse to continue you on non-dangerous medicine.” He uses a reputation of a medication from 15 years ago. People OD on Ibuprofen — the medication is not responsible for idiot self-use. I could go on, but you get the picture.
