She was my son's Psychiatrist, until she relocated. She is an incredible Psychiatrist, she listens attentively, always available and more than anything the best Psychiatrist we ever have had. We miss her.

She's an awful doctor. Condescending, short, and uncaring. I would not recommend her.

Saw her during quarantine via Zoom. She listened to what I had to say and brought up things I had said later in the meeting. She was even handed and suggested a mix of supplements in addition to pharmaceuticals. She had a kind demeanor and answered all my questions patiently. No complaints!

Pays no attention to detail. Would not call referring Doctor who wanted to talk to her. She said she had seen my husband 3 months ago; she said to him " Don't you remember? ". It was she who didn't remember it was a year ago. I could go into further examples but this is enough.
