I was under this doctor's care for several years for chronic back pain. He never examined me once or even checked my reflexes. I was on a medicinal opiate contract and he started to cut my medicine back to the point I was in withdrawal. I let him know I was missing time at work due to the pain level. He responded with you are addicted really you have been prescribing this medicine to me for years. I let him know I couldn't cut my dosage anymore than he had already. He got mad and told me to find another doctor. I asked for a referral several times over the next few weeks and he would not give me a referral. I had to go in to see him the following month and he didn't want to write my prescription. I told him I had a doctor I was going to see but you wouldn't give me the referral. He said I told you find another doctor and walked out of the room. Very rude and disrespectful, when he finally came back in the room I asked what I'm I going to do without my medicine he said oh you want me to invite you to dinner (weird) right.Then he says go home you will be fine I'm a doctor you will be fine. Really, I've been on a long term opiate contract and you are saying I will be fine just to stop the medication. He treated me with no dignity or respect the last couple of months I seen him. If you are seeing this doctor or planning to see him beware he definitely has mood swings. I could say alot more about my experiences with this doctor but I really want to forgot him after this. My mother-in-law seen him and he treated her terribly she was very ill and didn't get the care she needed. Maybe you might remember doctor. Donna McKinnon she's no longer with us.

An excellent doctor that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good doctor, ether on a cash bases or Washington State Medical Insurance.
