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.

Go to her if you have stage IV disease
Telehealth
This doctor will work with you to find best therapies there is for your disease. She is not going to sugar coat the reality, but she will try all there is including sometimes sending you to a trial. She did test my tumor and she had found that I could benefit from a drug for breast cancer and it has been working!!

She just seem so dismissive and in hurry!
Telehealth
Very dismissive when it came to my symptoms and it seemed like she was in hurry. She had no idea what my diagnosis could be when I asked her what she thought. Then proceed to tell me that some ppl just have high numbers. Like what? Who says that? She seemed like she was in rush and didn't really want send me for other testing. That's until I asked if it could be this or that. Whatever you don't have telehealth appt either. Terrible

Horrible first visit 0 stars
She did not explain anything in my first and ONLY visit. She was disrespectful, belittling, negative and apparently can tell what is wrong g with a person by looking at them for the first time in a virtual visit which is exactly what I was told by her. She was not caring, didn't know my background and scolded me for a lifestyle she assumed that I had and was totally off. No one should ever be treated this inhumanly. She continued to belittle me for 14 min of the 15 min virtual visit. I have never been treated so negatively by anyone as she did me. She lost my respect in the first 2 min.

Provider was very knowledgeable with my condition but seemed to be hurried to seeing her other patients. Had questions about future procedures. She never returned my calls.

Horrible office. Would not recommend. They wanted me to pay $120 copay just to speak with Dr. When i scheduled i said i wanted treatment same day. They refused to tell me if procedure covered and refused to give me codes so i could call insurance myself to see if covered.
