I have never giving a bad review in my life I usually just keep it to myself and move on. I feel like I have to this time because she made me feel so stupid! I have gone to see doctor catching 3 or 4 times. The first three times I went to go see her she was just "ok" nothing to say "wow" she really listens and goes above and beyond to do further testing. I decided to give her one last try and I regret it so much! She made me feel like I was making up my symptoms and gave me an attitude! She also raised her eyebrows and gave me a "really look". I will not be going back FOR SURE!

Have gone to Dr. C. for 17 years. She has been a terrific doctor through thick and thin. I've had lots of different issues and she has patiently helped me through all of them. Great personality. Never seems rushed with me. Always answers all of my questions. Plan to stay with her forever.

She is a very caring doctor but, rushes through. She missed a life threatening problem even though I was a long standing patient of hers for over 4 years. Went to her 2 times during this emergency and she missed it both times. Ended up going to a Walk-in Clinc and that doctor sent me to the ER and I was hospitalized. I can appreciate she is caring but, I need someone who can spot a problem aside from the typical problems most people have. I know doctors can miss things but,she is an internist and should have been able to spot this ASAP. Went for 4 weeks without an accurate diagnosis. Needless to say I selected a new doctor after that. If its just text book stuff its fine, but, I want a doctor who is more pro-active when things get serious and is on the safe side.

Great doctor but she is now using a doctor assistant so getting to actually see her even after an emergency is tough. The last time even though I was supposed to see her I got her assistant.
