Very denigrating and rude. No evidence of compassion or understanding. Listening skills, which should be a MUST for any psychiatrist, are poor at best. Don't waste your time.

Dr Checo is rude! She has zero compassion for others and should NOT be treating anyone! She is a know it all and doesn't care to hear your opinion on any matter!!

I have NEVER in my life come across a "Dr" if she truly is one that finds such enjoyment in ridiculing patients. She's completely unprofessional and should NOT be treating patients until she becomes EDUCATED about encouragement verses discouragement. I find her to be contemptuous to say the least.
