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.

I would never recommend this doctor to anyone
I'm glad she is not my doctor. She is never on time which always makes her patients have to wait; the last time my girl friend had to wait over an hour just to see her. She changes medications just to try something new, not trying to change doses of existing medications. I wish I could only give her a quarter of the star or less.

Treats only surface/known issues. Poor patient interaction and fails to address more serious potential health problems. In/out best describes the visits. No followup.

Not a good provider. Removed one of my medications without trying to taper it off, and refuses to listen to my concerns about restarting my medication, or sending me to a specialist about it. She's just not very receptive to any kind of feedback from the patient, who should be involved in their own care and health decisions.

Totally incompetent. She prescribed me medication that put my health at risk. Stay away from this physician if you value your health.
