Dr Incze insisted on prescribing a drug despite my concerns about serious side effects. Not only did he downplay the risk of side effects, he said "you don't have a lot of options". He kept insisting that the information I presented about potential side effects was not correct. Now, as I am experiencing severe side effects, he is basically saying that there is nothing that can be done, other than taking a cancer drug that he himself wouldn't recommend. He accepts no blame for putting me in this position. He is a terrible doctor.

Dr. Incze is remarkable. He has a great attitude of prevention and lowest intervention that I deeply appreciate. I walk out of his office feeling healthy, empowered to make decisions and clear about the next steps. Honestly I hope he NEVER leaves Uhealth as there is no-one else I'd rather be my guide through the second half (?) of my life.
