Dr Ion Alexie has T H E W O R S T bedside manner I have ever experienced. VERY rude; completely burdened by ANY of your questions. I honestly question his professional knowledge in the field of infectious diseases due to his actions including ruling out certain medical conditions without first consulting the submitted cultures, which had not even had a chance to grow fully yet. The condition in question was bacterial meningitis which is a condition which must be confirmed via lab testing, NOT a medical 'professional's opinion based on expressed symptoms. This is not a condition that a doctor may diagnose WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING THE CULTURES SUBMITTED BY THE PATIENT. His strange and obviously incorrect responses to medical questions an ruling out Meningitis before viewing appropriate cultures seriously makes me question whether or not he should be practicing medicine at all
