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.

Horrible Dr. Does not care about the patient
No real treatment plan discussed. Dictates what a patient will & will not feel based on her own textbook case ideas. A patient to her is nothing but a number. Incompetent to handle a real case. Spends more time documenting a computer than patient care. After the visit I was devastated to hear her exclaim that a patient with PE & plural effusion has absolutely no pain and oxygen saturation levels fluctuation between 95% & 80% were normal enough to remove the oxygen tank. I was pretty sick and she basically said get over it. Lacking in care of the patient. I will not return to her nor her practice. She has lost my trust as she turns against her own patients concerns.

Horrible awful non caring woman. Looks to do nothing more than pass the buck. I was told she’s thoracic but she’s a pulmonologist. I was treated with utter disrespect and discrimination. Never will she touch me.

Horrible!! * Refused to tell me test results over phone (other doctors have no problem) and asked me to visit in person. * Spent 30 seconds to go over test results. * Wasted my time so she could get insurance/copay money for unnecessary visit. * She also has rude and incompetent staff.
