Lacks compassion and bedside manner. She is cold, rude, and doesn't really listen to her patients. She would not help me with temporary relief from constant panic attacks. She hung up on me in a tele-health meeting and never called back. I ended up in the E.R. for the 3rd time.

Worse than poor- wouldn’t give a fraction of a star if you didn’t have to! I fully believe other poor reviews here saying what they encountered as it was the same for me. An arrogant egotistical woman with an attitude problem towards others. She strives to justify her rigid biased opinions, unapologetically. My opinion is that only those who are most vulnerable find her okay as she demands meek unquestioning compliance. Clearly, her need to judge & control others overrides real compassion. Do not see this Dr. if you want to be free from needing her. She is the ultimate perpetuator of illnesses not the healer. I found her to be beyond off putting - even dangerous to me personally so I left post haste and hope to never see her Or hear her anywhere again.
