As fearful as I was, the associates at this pace are simply amazing!!! My appointment was at 8am and altho they were running a little behind, they were extremely polite and updated me as to when I would be seen. The place is extremely clean! Everything is organized and runs rather smoothly once your in the back. The Dr is by the far the friendliest doctor Ive ever encountered! He spoke on my terms and explained everything I was experiencing to me in detail. Altho, I'm not a fan of hospitals or doctor visits, everyone here made my experience much more pleasant than my previous experience to the ER.

When I was forced to visit his practice by a chronic and violent stomach condition i have battled…read morefor over 15 years, Dr. Tooson was unbelievably rude and gave me the distinct impression that he either didn't believe me (I am very young to be facing such chronic health problems) or just didn't care. I am very much inclined towards the latter, as I believe he saw my suffering and my daily pain as an opportunity for him to make money off of me and my insurance. Despite the fact that I was complaining of daily debilitating vomiting and diarrhea, Dr. Julius Dewayne Tooson did not make any recommendations regarding my diet, gave me nothing for my nausea or diarrhea (even though i made it very clear that this was a serious problem and that i react well to Ondansetron for my daily vomiting). Even though I specifically asked for any doctor other than Dewayne Tooson MD, an emergency forced me to seek the services of his practice, and much to my disappointment, I had to see the one doctor from their practice who I had heard bad things about. What I had heard regarding his unprofessional and generally unknowledgeable demeanor was spot on, seeing how Dr. Tooson did not make any effort whatsoever to treat my awful symptoms (most straightforward being my vomiting or diarrhea); instead he took the opportunity to profit off of my pain and abuse the doctor-patient relationship as well as his position at a reputable firm. After my operation, Dr. Tooson made no effort to let me know how it went, instead taking the opportunity to talk to my girlfriend while i was unconscious. Apparently, I had woken up during the procedure (i was supposed to be under adequate anesthesia), and must have had to be restrained (again, no one told me anything about what happened), but after my procedure I woke up with at least 8 new needle holes (despite my pipeline veins) and massive bruises on my arms and torso (I took pictures, some bruises are grapefruit-size, others are finger-shaped). Some time later, my condition worsened and I ended up in the emergency room due to the severity and intensity of my symptoms (vomiting blood and bile over 10x in a day). Much to my disappointment, the dr on call to preform the procedure i needed was none-other than the same guy whose neglect contributed to my worsening condition, Dr. Dewayne Tooson. After first bearing the disrespect of him making a joke of my awful situation, I told him I wanted to speak to one of his partners, because the level of dis-concern and unprofessionality he had demonstrated was completely uncalled for and his reputation had made me never want to see him in the first place. Instead of fulfilling my request to speak to one of the managing partners of his practice, Dr. Tooson immediately began taking steps to cover his own butt: instead of telling other doctors and nurses that i had requested to speak to one of his partners, he instead made it seem as though I had explicitly refused the services of their practice and falsely represented my desire to speak to a more professional and more senior partner from his practice. Apparently, he said that I refused the services of his practice, fired him, and also fired all the partners from his practice. This seemed very obviously an attempt to prevent his more senior partners from seeing me and realizing the horrid mistakes he had made regarding his lack of concern and lack of professionalism toward me, my girlfriend, and my debilitating stomach condition which had led me to seek his services and eventually end up hospitalized after an ER visit. It is absolutely disgusting that a doctor would be allowed to profit off of so explicitly disrespecting a patient, their health, and their desire to speak to a managing partner from his practice. How can he be allowed to profit off of deliberately attempting to prevent me from receiving medical care I needed? How can he be allowed to profit off of covering up the fact that I had raised concerns about his professionality and wished to receive an audience with his managing partners? Is he really allowed to just lie about me asking to speak to his partners, and just say that I refused their services? The worst part is, I sought the help of his firm because of a debilitating and life-changing progression in the severity of GI conditions I have battled for over 15 years, and this disrespectful jerk made a mockery out of it and made no effort to treat a single symptom. As I suspected, my condition worsened over the next two weeks and I ended up in the Emergency Room. When Dr. Tooson saw me in the hospital, despite the fact that his negligence may have very-well contributed to the worsening of my condition and my eventual hospitalization, he made a mockery out of the whole indecent and took steps to prevent me from being able to see a more senior doctor from his practice, effectively doing everything in his power to protect himself from having to answer for his unprofessionalism and neglect.
