It is difficult to get an appointment here but after a long wait I got my mom into this practice. Now she is off most of the uneccessary meds she was on. It took several visits, lots of monitoring and finally, a doctor who was willing to commit to looking into mom's issues thoroughly.

There is a Nurse Practitioner in this office, Terry, who is absolutely wonderful. Takes his time with patients, explains everything very thoroughly. My husband and I have been Terry's patients for some time and have never been disappointed. Very, very high turnover in office staff. Creates a real problem sometimes.

Does not spend time talking with patients, prescribes medications without fully analyzing the issue, overmedicates, very hard to get an appointment, and does not put the wellbeing of her patients first. I believe our parents/grandparents deserve better!

Terrible bedside manner for geriatric patients. She prescribed on several occasions, the wrong medication for the diagnosis. Spends more time inputing on her computer during office visit than with the patient.

This MD is very rude to her staff and other professionals. Not impressed. Would not recommend her!

Specialist in treating the elderly and was very qualified to help manage and reduce medications. Highly recommend.
