tremendous lack of professionalism, very obnoxious about answering questions, attitude toward patient very rude and had a problem with answering patients questions, as if it were inconveniencing her. And then said, "Well, I won't do surgery on you!"

Not happy! Not a professional. Waited two hours. Was not happy to answer my questions. Told me to shut up that she would ask the questions, and I could ask mine at the end! Wouldn't recommend to an enemy! And according to your list of her affiliations, if you double check that, you may find she is no longer able to practice at all of them. What does that tell us? The meanest doctor I have ever encountered in many decades.There should be an option with no stars, maybe a caution sign?
