I have been seeing her for about 10 years, she is smart, does lots of tests and very good follow up. I was having problems with terrible insurance and her head nurse and staffher staff battled the insurance company for me. This insurance was so bad they went bankrupt they found new insurance company for five or more patients.this was 4 years ago and the new insurance is very much improved . I have gone through some difficult times but my doctor stuck with me. She is a good person as is her staff.

I will never return. I have seen this doctor three times and have had enough of her making me feel like I am not worthy of being concerned about my health.

She's awful. She doesn't care and doesn't even bother to hide it. She's not blunt she just doesn't care enough about her patients to be respectful.

This woman likes the title of Doctor but does not care for her patients. My mother had a serious UTI and all this doctor said was "What do you expect? She has Dementia". She refused to do testing and a week after we fired her, my mother almost died in the hospital from. . . .wait for it... wait for it....a serious UTI. Why doesn't this web site allow us to leave feedback with ZERO STARS??

This doctor is in a rush to get out of your visit and has zero bedside manners. It is amazing that anybody would want her as a doctor, because she has no empathy and listening skills. Try a different practitioner if you can. She may be a good doctor, but the way she treats her patients is despicable.
