Rude doctor. Asked for expensive tests just for preventive purpose. Never listens patiently. Always in a hurry. Won't discuss much in one visit. Asks for followup every 2 or 3 months unnecessarily. Not even discuss anything over phone as mentioned by some patients. Faced the same thing myself. My insurance doesn't pay for frequent visits. But the doctor does not care for her patients. She only wants you to pay. Will not recommend anybody.

Wait time is almost 2 hrs. Mom had her blood test. Office didnt call to tell the reports. When I called I was told she needs to make another appointment which is a PAID VISIT to discuss the blood report. Which was pretty much normal report. Unlike other doctors she refused to tell the reports over the phone. Not even prescribe medicine over phone. You have to pay for another visit just to hear your blood results. Will never go to this doctor Again.

Rude. Came off as extremely arrogant. Didnt know how to work basic machinery. Didnt attentively listen to problems. Offered ridiculous alternatives that proved she just wants my money. Seemed in a hurry. And gave no proper response to my health related issues. Yuck!

Only has office hours one or two days a week. Spends rest of her time as Dr. for area nursing homes. Doesn't devote as much time to her office patients.
