I would not recommend this doctor at all! She is rude and condescending. My husband is from the same home country so she's nice to him, not me. She doesn't acknowledge me and criticizes if you don't share the same views as her or if you challenge her in any way. In short, she'll give you rock start treatment if you're from her ugly home country. If not, good luck bc she's totally biased. Take your hard earned money & insurance elsewhere!

She is a very well seasoned Dr. The passion that she has for children is amazing. Having two children with several problems it is great to have a doctor that is there for YOU as well as for them.She is a blessing in our life's.

-She is a doctor that goes out her way.She took me to a eye doctor bc,I had no transportation.She does pay attention to your needs and is reliable.The staff are rude when you call to make appointment and have issues on waiting to long and not seeing her enough sometimes,I get the residental students which I can't stand.I am switching due to that reason ONLY not,because of her.She is great.I am going to a doctor that focus on there TIME not,on others ppl time.
