My experience with Dr. Ness was terrible. He gave me no direct answers for my medical problems. He could not give me a clear answer for whether or not I had cancer even when I asked him multiple times. He seemed completely dumbfounded regarding my tumors and how to treat them. The entire appointment was him on his phone, asking other doctors questions about my condition. He left the room multiple times during my appointment.
