She did a very good job explaining the situation to me as well as the precautions I should take before and after surgery.

Needs to improve her bed side manner. Needs to answer questions with paitence, and should consult patient before making any decisions about treatment.

I don’t think she’s rude or has bad bedside manner like I’ve read. She just has a confident and direct personality. She is knowledgeable.. way more so than most. Only downside is it’s hard to get a word in sometimes with her and she is a fast talker while giving you instructions on meds and tests. She is thorough though and checks all of your history. Good about following up with things.

I would rate 0 stars if I could!! She is a royal b*tch and only cares about money. Suggests unnecessary surgery to get a heftier paycheck and doesn't take time and care with each patient. I suggest looking elsewhere
