Terrible!! Would never recommend him..

Terrible!! Would never recommend him to anyone. I went to him because he had the first morning appointment possible. My infant was down with flu and fever. First nurse came to check the temperature height weight etc. When Dr arrived he checked again the temperature while my little one kept crying due to cold irritation. Why would you ask nurse to take temperature when you dont trust her. Secondly once he found out she had fever, he ran to his room from our isolated room as if bomb had exploded. And then he refused me and my baby to speak to.. he asked nurse to call my husband for the talk. Gave me medication that is used for the child above 1 year, my infant is 10months old! He wasted my time and energy so much. While my child was crying all this while he was busy asking personal questions like where do you work and do you know this manager, he added he has expensive watches so n so, he commented my previous doctor is a junior, less experienced, etc, he adds he is dr since before I was born etc, Hence my exp was totally pathetic. Half of the time his mask was down on his face. He has no humanitarian level while speaking to patients or gaurdians or his nurses etc.
