Seeing her for many years, relationship became more of a friendship. She was very kind but started to change specialities, becoming a therapist. Daughter presented serious symptoms for many years, she attributed everything to anxiety with statements "Her anxiety really drives a lot of her problems" "IBS is most psychiatric OCD need to clean" "It was anxiety and tightness from anxiety and straining to have BM 8x a day that can be the back pain". "needs to clean constantly after bad relationship and discussed that it will not make the issues better". Could go on and on. She presented symptoms for years, wanted help, but because she did have high anxiety after trauma at a young age, daughter slipped through the cracks of the system. Daughter had faith in this doctor but she failed her. Died this year from stage iv colon cancer. Symptoms ignored and brushed off.

Was seeing her for many years and I liked her, however, I felt we Became more like friends. Lacked the professional concern she needed to maintain as a physician Totally misdiagnosed me causing much suffering. I totally lost my faith in her.

I have been seeing her for a long time. Quality of service has gone down. Her bedside manner is not what it once was. The staff is rude on occasion. The wait in the waiting room is much longer and the time with her is much shorter. After over 10 years, it's time to move on.

The best Dr I have ever had, she has been my doctor for over 10 years, she would still be mine if I hadn't moved. In fact, I haven't found a primary care doctor yet because no one compares!
