Love her--she saved my life and gave me a 2nd chance!

She is indeed the best in her field; she performed surgery on me in 2008, and saved my life. I will always be thankful to her.

She is the best in her field.

I was referred to this doctor by my OBGYN for precancerous lesions on my cervix and for treatment options. This was probably one of the worst experiences I have ever encountered with a doctor. She must be amazingly smart and talented because she presented the attitude as if I was there for an ingrown toe nail. No compassion, no reassurance, no positive anything. Her answer was A or B. Both of which were huge decisions to make and she said lets just get you on the operating calendar so you have a spot in a couple weeks and you can decide later what you want to do, as if I was changing my hair color. Perhaps I am over-sensitive. I appreciate straight forward answers and honesty but this was redicules. I felt horrible when I left and that was on top of the anxiety of the situation for which I had to see her. NOT recommended.
