He is egotistical and condescending. His surgical abilities are fabulous, but his people skills are horrid!! My husband had surgery, and we are really struggling with what foods he can eat, since Dr. Uppal feels he is too good to answer questions. I tried to ask him what items my husband could eat, and all he said is "if I didn't say it, he can't eat it". So I guess all he can eat is scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, noodles/pasta, & ice cream (with no chunks). So, we guess the pasta must be plain. I believe that you should speak to someone in the way you would like to be spoken to. Dr. Uppal apparently believes he is above his patients, but I bet my blood is the same color as his.
