I saw this doctor and found her to be incredibly disrespectful and controlling. She kept telling me to lie down on the bed, which had an uncomfortable metal bar going horizontally across it. It hurt my back and I could not lie upon it. She got irritated and didn't respect my pain, then insisted that I was resistant to her suggestions. A doctor needs to respect a patient's limits and pain, and not insist the patient do things that hurt. I found her to be incredibly unprofessional and rude.

I was in a recent accident and provided medical brief history, but was at doctor's for an unrelated reason. She repeatedly told me to "sit still and be quiet" which is absolutely inappropriate. I am an elderly person who was taught to show respect to others in my lifetime. This doctor does not live by those ethics. I foolishly did not walk out immediately, but I definitely will never return for such disrespectful treatment. As soon as my husband joined me in the room, she immediately changed her behavior. I want to forewarn others of the poor treatment given. She is extremely rude and controlling in her personality. Very bizarre doctor and experience.
