Asked the doctor one medical question based on my research of his diagnosis, and not only did he become visibly upset, he stared me down without any dialogue, palpably hostile and became beet red in his face.  If any doctor does not allow for questions than such might be an indicator of the personality one is dealing with.  Office staff is highly prone to gossip and quite indifferent.  Cannot understand the high rating for this doctor however he does see many people freely not on insurance but not sure if those services are free to some who claim this doctor with high rating.
