Just found out she is no longer at Ocala VA. Great news. I only saw her once for about 5-10 minutes. She lied about my visit on her report. She said she spoke to me for 30 minutes and that my PTSD was in remission. She did not ask me any questions at all. She just said she was taking me off my anti-anxiety meds and no longer needed to see me.

Had an appointment for my 19 yr old son. She was very unprofessional and mean. She drilled my son for 45 minutes questioning his health problems. This Dr visit caused my son to stay in bed the rest of the day not wanting to come out of his room.
