Please dont go to this guy. I had severe hypothyroidism and he laughed at me ( literally) and asked me if i was married, lonely...etc and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with me. Now, granted he was not the first doctor to arrogantly dismiss my symptoms,however, the thing that shocked me is that i had a long extensive medical history for the past 3 months with several tests run. He had all the information on his computer as he was within the network. This guy literally spent 30 seconds going through my records right in front of me. He didnt bother to read through them before i came in to make sure they werent missing anything. Upon seeing some numbers in the normal ranges and learning that my MRI was normal skimming through the records, he turned around and looked at me as if to say " why are u wasting my time?" How can you get the full picture if you spend 30 seconds ( and this is no exaggeration ) going over my records. In fact I had to urge him to look at my records because he was initially hesitant. There are a lot of people suffering like me who were wrongly prescribed anti depressants just because these doctors refuse to read what is going on in medicine. They feel like if they comply with whatever archaic recommendations the AMA makes, it shouldnt matter how you feel. Really? So medicine is about lab tests and ranges and no longer about symptoms? Hell then why bother go to medical school if all u do is look at a bunch of numbers and decide what to do if a number is not within a specified range. I could do that via the internet. They dont care about your symptoms. When I finally went to a doctor who was willing to listen and checked my free T4 and T3 he realized that my TSH was high though within range and my adrenals were virtually non existent. Long story short, Dr. Driscoll is a jerk. Im actually thinking about suing him and donating the money to people in my shoes. At one point in time I felt I was dying. My vision was so blurry i couldnt watch tv and i literally felt i was about to die. And to think these guys tell me I am depressed is just a big joke. Dr. why dont you read what is going on at the cutting edge of your profession just like IT workers have to upgrade on a regular basis and stop acting like you know everything. When I was in college I had friends who are now doctors copying off of my chemistry test. In fact the fought to sit next to me during the tests. To think that even they claim to know everything and wouldnt listen to patients is such a joke. Doctors are a joke because they have no humility to say " hmm this one beats me, let me run it by a colleague". They have to know what s wrong either via lab, or within the 5 minute conversation they have with you. what a disgrace! Dont go to this guy

Dr.Driscoll may be the best doctor Ive ever had! He has been my doctor for years and not only is he an amazing Doctor, but his nurse is also amazing. Ive always been treated fair and treated with respect! Im grateful and feel extremely lucky to have such a great doctor! If youre looking for a good doctor, dont even hesitate, make an appointment!

I was a patient of Dr. Driscoll, and due to his bedside manner and lack of care, I left his practice. The straw that broke the
