She has horrible communication skills, she doesn’t follow up with her patients and fails to give call backs. She doesn’t care anything about her patients.

This is by far the worst experience I have had with a medical professional. She doesn’t care about her patients and has horrible communication. I would advise anyone to stay far away from her.
