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.

Worst Person & Physician
I endured this pathetic excuse for a physician & person for a little over 2 years, she was disinterested in knowing Anything from my previous physician who treated me upward of 12 years. She is so cruel & offensive she made derogatory comments to me from my hair style to the way I dressed, she only wanted to focus on my diabetes & while it was a concern I was under attack by her & she tried to force a medication on me that I was adamant about not taking since its side effects were very serious especially since my mother had recently passed away from a cancer this medication was known to cause, I asked for time to get it down on my own but she just plays the blame game saying I was “resistant to her recommendations” SO moving forward she completely missed a diagnosis that required immediate surgery to save at minimum my legs & feet & ultimately to save my life. She did NOT want me to have the surgery & when I had it done she retaliated by saying I needed to get my care elsewhere

Should find a different career
I was patient and polite after waiting two months for an appointment. I was given zero hope at life repeatedly and told to eat whatever I wanted because it didn’t matter. Specialists gave me hope and a nutritionist. Internal medicine doctors are the least educated and she shouldn’t even be practicing. Most are probably good for easy medical issues, but she shouldn’t have a license. I’ll stick with specialists & doctors who actually care about patients.

Highly recommend
I found her to be very warm and compassionate. I also appreciated that she took into consideration the costs of medications and helped me find alternatives to an expensive medication. I felt she listened to my concerns and genuinely cared about my well being.

My wife and I both see her and she's a great doctor. Very professional but also warm and welcoming. Would highly recommend if you need a good general practitioner.

If you don’t mind a doctor with one of the most dismissive bedside manners you can conceive of, she might be an ok physician? maybe? We didn’t really get too much into that due to her supremely patronizing interview. She displayed unwillingness to trust patient reported data and minimal consideration for previous physicians therapeutic approaches during my visit without having a ton of data about me so I interpret that as a red flag. I hope that this young doctor can learn how to be more of a collaborator instead of a gatekeeper in the future.
