I BROUGHT MY16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN FOR A VISIT, IT WAS THE FIRST IN PERSON VISIT WITH THIS PROVIDER. SHE SAID MYDAUGHTER WAS DUE AND NEEDED SEVERAL VACCINES, AND SAID SOME WERE NOT OPTIONAL. MY DAUGHTER SAID NO THAT SHE WOULD LIKE TO RESEARCH IT MORE. THIS DOCTOR THEN BEGAN TO QUESTION MY DAUGHTERS REASONINGS. WHEN MY DAUGHTER WASN'T GIVING HER THE RESPONSE SHE WANTED, DOCTOR D. MCDERMOTT THEN TELLS MY 16 YEAR OLD CHILD "WELL YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO DO RESEARCH ON SUICIDE WHEN YOU ATTEMPTED LAST YEAR DID YOU?". MY DAUGHTER BECAME EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL AND WAS CRYIN., I WAS IN UTTER DISBEILEF OF WHAT I HAD JUST WITNESSED. SHE JEOPORDIZED MY DAUGHTERS MENTAL HEALTH AND LIFE OVER A VACCINE!!! SHE ADMITTEDLY SAID THAT SHE NEVER EVEN SEEN THE DISEASES FOR WHICH THESE VACCINES ARE FOR. THIS IS THE SAME DOCTOR WHO FIRST SEEN MY DAUGHTER VIA TELEMED AFTER HER SUICIDE ATTEMPT IN 2020. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN HAVING CRYING SPELLS EVER SINCE. THE PROVIDER DID APOLOGIZE, BUT IT WAS… OBVIOUS ENOUGH THAT SHE WAS NOT GENUINE. AFTER SHE WAS ASKED, SHE DID ADMIT TO ME THAT SHE DOES INDEED RECEIVE BONUS FUNDS FROM THE GOVERNMENT FOR VACCINATING HER PATIENTS. SHE DOESN'T TRULY CARE ABOUT HER PATIENTS, IT'S ABOUT MONEY, AND SHE WAS WILLING TO SACRIFICE MY DAUGHTERS MENTAL HEALTH OVER IT. WE WENT IN FINE AND HAPPY. WHILE MY DAUTHER WAS FILLING OUT THE FORM AND QUESTIONAIRE SHE SAID TO ME WITH A SMILE "I'VE BEEN REALLY HAPPY LATLEY MOM." AND THAT WAS HER REPLY ON THE FORM. I PRAY MY DAUGHTER IS ABLE TO MOVE ON FROM THE COMMENTS THAT THIS ABUSIVE DOCTOR SPEWED TO A CHILD. I KNOW IT'S REPLAYED IN MY MIND MANY TIMES SINCE.

Don't waste your time or your family's health. After the hours you will spend in the waiting room and in the examination room waiting for this doctor you will be exhausted. Not to mention she will only give you five minutes of her time before she dismisses you. Not who you want taking care of you. When a doctor is too busy with interns and rushed the patient, you never get correctly diagnosed.
