If you are being investigated by CPS about something that may have happened to your child. Do not let this woman testify for the state. If you can't control that make sure you have someone to contradict her testimony. She is getting paid by the state to testify about what she knows medically however, she testifies with her opinion and sidesteps and contradicts her answers. She is obnoxious and condescending. She covers up incompetence by the hospital that she is affiliated with.

My child has medical issues that are unknown. She accused myself and her dad for her fragile state. She is a terrible doctor and blames parents when she can't find an answer.

Before she ever looked, saw, met, or examined medical records on my child she came up to us and stated that our sole job in life is to protect our kids and that we failed. It went downhill from there. It took us months to prove her injuries were from a disease that we could not have known about. Her sole job in life seems to be ripping families to shreds no matter what the cause. If you love your children do not let the failed state system call her in.
