Over aggressively treated me for a condition I did not have. Was late for every appointment yet still charged for a full appointment. Often canceled at the last minute for personal reasons. She only seemed interested in the money she charged me.

She worked around her schedule not mine often canceling at the last minute for personal reasons. Was always late for every appointment but still charged for a full appointment. Only seemed interested in the money.
