This doctor is difficult to get appointments with. When we did get an appointment she would reschedule it for a month or 2 later. My dad was in the hospital under her care last year. She failed to see him (on acute coronary care unit) for 3 days. No other doctor came to see him either. As a result of her neglect my father died. Do NOT trust your care or your loved one's care to her!!!
