When I saw him about my back, after my MRI, he told me everything would be fine with physical therapy (without giving a time frame for improvement), and that if I should need surgery it would be outpatient. This led me to waste several months and also money on plans I wouldn't be able to complete. Then when he decided surgery was called for, he was going to do soo much stuff that it would've likely killed me. And to him it was just UNHEARD OF that I wouldn't have somebody living with me 24/7 for the next 6 months. Well, that had to be resolved before surgery, and also, when I was in a real state of emergency, this lump of ice was going to waste EVEN MORE time running me around all over town seeing every doctor you can think of, including a PSYCHOLOGIST -- a quack who probably knows no more than I do -- who might go, gee, you're not jumping for joy over your back being a wreck, so we can't fix your back till we sort out those "issues." That reptile was going to drag his feet until I was paralyzed, and then, oh well, too bad. So I dropped him, urgently, and found a doctor who would help me. I wonder: was that his way of chasing me away because Medicare wouldn't pay him a million dollars? If so, why does he even take Medicare patients?? THEN later, they sent me bills for thousands of dollars for MRIs and such. It was like, well, we don't know how to bill the insurance so they won't pay, but no problem, YOU can just pay this. Phone calls. Bills. Finally I called and told them, I DON'T NEED THIS, spending hours on the phone to confirm that I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING. YOU WILL NOT send me any more bills or call me anymore or, since I seem to have all this time to waste, I'm gonna start suing you ALL, starting with that doctor.

It was one of the most informative, helpful and pleasant experiences by a doctor that I have had. Doctor Platon was excellent. I highly recommend him.
