I was in search for a PCP (primary care provider) but this was very different from experiences with other physicians at this facility. Not a provider I would select for primary care. She doesn't represent the same professionalism as other physicians at this facility. Also, not as friendly. I would NOT recommend.

Very different from experiences with other physicians. This is not a provider I’d select for primary care. She poorly represents the professionalism I have experienced with other physicians at this location. Also, not as friendly. I do not recommend.

Very different from experiences with other physicians. Not a provider I’d want as primary care. She poorly represents the professionalism I’ve experienced with other physicians at this facility. Also, not as friendly. I definitely would not recommend
