Sleazy, unethical, patronizing:
According to staff, medical director Dr. Gerald Vernon took over in the last few months. In my opinion, Vernon was rude, verbally abusive, manipulative, and sexually harassed me by constantly referring to me by terms such as "honey," "dear," etc., while telling me he was "only trying to help" me because he "felt sorry for" me. Meanwhile the facts were i needed no "help" from him because my insurance covered the "favors" he was offering. He came across as the sleazy uncle about to prey on a younger female relative. After I politely and respectfully asked his staff to communicate to him that I be treated with more respect, he dropped me and refused me treatment from the entire practice. In my opinion, this is what any female can expect if she goes there and does not enthusiastically agree with everything he says, as another woman on facebook wrote about a similar experience with another dr there. Vernon tried to make me feel it was my fault when he contradicted the info his own staff gave me. He literally threatened to withhold treatment from me if I didnt keep a pleasant expression on my face. I have never seen a dr. be so threatening and abusive. These details are only the tip of the iceberg of how he behaved. I cant believe he's been getting away with this stuff. I dont know if the owner knows about this behavior or not, but he needs to, and if he condones it, he needs to be sanctioned as well. This was the worst I have been treated in 10 years by a doctor.
