I've switched doctors three times during my pregnancy and she is the best. Great bedside manner, puts my mind at ease, and just overall very compassionate. So happy to be her patient

She tried to get me to sign up for a c-section when I didnt need one and blew off questions I asked like they didnt matter.

Terrible experience. I got the vibe that she was going through something in her personal life but my appointment with her was interrupted 3 times so she could answer phone calls. I would recommend someone more focused and professional as my doctor.

Warm, personable and extremely easy to speak with about any problem. The only doctor I've ever felt completely at ease with. Though she does work a limited schedule and it can be difficult to get an appointment with her, she's worth the wait. Throughout my pregnancy I saw every doctor in her office and would still prefer to wait for her.

She is a very nice person when you actually get to see her. However, you must schedule appointments months in advance only to be called (if you're lucky, youll get an advance call) mere days before your appt. to be told that she needs to reschedule. This happens nearly every single time I have scheduled appts. with her, which I do about 3 or 4 times a year! There have also even been a few occasions where I have called to confirm my appt. myself only to be told by the receptionist "Oh, someone should have called you to reschedule- she can't see you that day." When all this happens, it means you (the patient) then go another 2 months or so before they can fit you in. So, the appt. you needed to have within a certain amount of time now ends up actually happening months and months later down the road, because she keeps canceling on you. It's unprofessional, inconsiderate, and extremely frustrating, especially when your appts. are for serious issues. Wait times are usually no less… than 30-40 minutes in the waiting room and then once you are placed into an exam room, you wait another 20-30 minutes. The receptionist is very rude and of no use whatsoever. I would never recommend this office or this doctor to anyone!
