Throughout my whole life, I thought I had ADD but the doctor helped me realize that it was my life history that was affecting my ability to concentrate. I have been to many doctors and no doctor has ever been able to explain things to me the way that she had done. Thank you.

I have severe anxiety. I called her because I was desperate and finally willing to take medication. She returned my phone call and was very nice. When I tried to make an appointment she said to call her later. I did. She never answered nor returned my phone call. I called her 5 more times over the next two weeks. She ignored me completely. If she didn't want to treat me at least have the compassion to give me a referral or not make me call her back. At least have a shred of professionalism.
