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.

If you see this doctor, make sure you ask to see her notes from your appointment. She forwarded them to my primary physician, who gave me a copy. According to her notes, the "physical examination" concluded that among other things, my breath sounds were normal, my abdomen was mildly distended however with no ascites, and my thyroid was not enlarged. The kicker is ..... she didn't physically examine me! She never touched me! She stayed behind her desk during the whole conversation. And that's just some of the incorrect statements. Unbelievable!

She is horrible. Her bedside manners are horrible !!! I wouldn't recommend this doctor at all. She is numb to her patients as far as any type of compassion or empathy !!!

Highly disappointed with this Dr. and her staff. My chemotherapy prescriptions were called in late many times. Some of her staff are rude and insensitive, complaining that weight gain was the worst thing that could happen to them, within earshot of cancer sufferers. Would never recommend this clinic or Dr. to anyone.
