Kinda looks like Bill Murray from afar. Or the feature act at the Improv.

This would be a great trick to play on someone you don't like!

He looks like he just won the Academy Award for "Best freezing out a polyp in a bad vag."

The guy looks like Rob Schneider! Maybe he's on his way to a man-whore convention!

I think Dr. Nitkin's ad people are applying the Dr. Zizmor principle: Have bizarre ads that people talk about.

This reminds of the ad for legal counsel I see on tv sometimes. The guy is wearing this huge cowboy hat, clearly masking the fact that he suffers from male pattern baldness, but in effect, making it terribly obvious.

Ha I saw these on Jay St and they creeped out as well. Someone make an appointment and take a picture of the offices. But don't get an exam!

ROFL: his tactic worked.... He just got thousands of dollars in fee publicity - ALL OVER THE WORLD. Thanks to overeager blogs. Wonder if this was his plan. Everyone can become a fleeting Web star, nowadays :-D

Those ads have been on Jay Street for quite a while. I would fire the marketing person who told him that picture would get him any clients. However, if I was more adventurous, I would totally hop on over and see what he was all about.
