Terrible patient care. She is dismissive and tries to get you out ASAP. Clinic is poorly run. Took over a month to address prior auth. Charged for medication I asked to be discontinued twice. Clinical manager is unprofessional and beyond rude. There are better physicians literally anywhere else.

I told the clinic I didn't want to get botox anymore on 2 occasions prior to my next appointment. They ordered it anyways and I had to pay $140 to the pharmacy. I asked if I could take it home, since I paid for it and I was uncomfortable leaving it at the clinic in case they used it on someone else on my tab. I was told the clinical manager would address the whole issue with me. After not hearing from anyone I tried to call them. I was called back by an extremely angry female clinic manager who yelled at me over the phone, told me I am threatening the clinic with accusations of diversion and that they were dropping me as a patient. Pretty sad excuse to save $140 and completely unprofessional behavior. I mentioned to a drug rep I knew that I was seeing a provider at this clinic before all this happened and her reaction told 1000 words. Try another clinic.

My father was her patient and was told he is making his symptoms up for his Parkinson’s diagnosis. At first appointment she referred him right away to a brain surgeon for DBS surgery. After a few follow up appointments with her she continued to tell my father he was obsessed with his diesease and it was all in his head. She did not make the initial Parkinson’s diagnosis but was referred to her by the doctor that diagnosed him. She is the most uncompassionate and inconsiderate doctor who is not knowledgeable. I have read several reviews how she misdiagnosed or told other patients they are obsessing over sysmptoms and illnesses. Her certification to practice should be revoked as she is putting peoples lives at risk.
