Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

super dismissive. doesn’t care about needs and is always in a rush

Does Not Listen
I came because I am sick. She does not care and will not listen. I know she is busy and has other patients. I am a patient too.

No. No. No.
Absolutely needs to work on bedside manner. Rude. Rushed, and dismissive. All the things you don’t want in a doctor. Will be doing everything I can do avoid seeing her again. It takes a lot to get me to a point of complete dissatisfaction with a DR, as I am in the health care industry, but she needs a new career path.

Never going back to her!
She doesn't listen, she gets offended if you ask questions she doesn't know the answer to, she cuts you off mid sentence, she's in a hurry and treats you like she doesn't have time, she's rude, when she does "listen" you can tell she wasn't listening at all by her reply, she really needs to go back to school for her profession cause she apparently doesn't remember what she learned, she has no professionalism and should Not be working in this industry.

NO THANK YOU !.........NO ONE ASKS
Unfortunately for a few months things have been very difficult (Dr. never asked) there has been some tragedies in the family including the death of my brother less than a month ago after a short 9 month battle of very rare cancer with no treatment. I have a 35-year-old injury have tried everything with no relief. 3 weeks I waited for a refill calling asking why Nobody not one person said you need to come see the doctor first then you would get it For 3 weeks I suffered unnecessarily and this doctor made me feel like I was lying to get extra pills or something. Now I have to go to pain management for my pills my husband's on the exact same thing for exact same length of time and he doesn't. She does not have a bedside manner or disposition for the job
