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.

Definitely NOT
I have seen her 4x now, and the first visit was okay. However, as time has gone on I’ve noticed a pattern: she dismisses my concerns, doesn’t respond to my messages addressing anything I’ve asked, seems to simply blame my prior health conditions (type 1 diabetes and mental illness) as my issue. My diabetes is well controlled by an endocrinologist I see every 2-3 months, and I have a psychiatrist I see as well to manage my mental illness. This doesn’t seem to stop her from ignoring my presenting concerns. She doesn’t let me explain all of my symptoms and frequently cuts me off. And she hasn’t reported back to me regarding some lab results that I received back early last week. Her “exams” consist of briefly chatting but no actual physical examination. Definitely do not recommend AT ALL

Do not recommend
She was okay the first visit and I came to talk about some issues which she makes a sly comment or almost giggles in a way to dismiss what you’re saying. Also she will make you uncomfortable about your intimate life and not give guidance or compassion but smile and make a sly comment to make you feel wrong about what you’re doing. There is a difference in guiding your patient to the correct medical care but she makes me very uncomfortable about even talking about. I do not recommend anyone but particularly young women who are looking to get your treatment because it will be judgmental not comfortable.

If i could rate a 0 i would. Terrible and very rude doctor. Wouldn’t recommend her to anybody. Body shamed me for being skinny. Tried to force me to get on birth control. When i asked for my vitamin levels to be checked she said no that i should just start prenatal vitamins since im going to get pregnant anyways since i don’t want to take birth control. Yelled at me for exiting the room after my appointment because someone was supposed to come in my room to check me out. Took 4+ weeks to fix a breast ultrasound order when I had a breast lump. Never refilled a cream i needed for a skin infection that was prescribed by my previous provider- i even called her office for weeks asking and nobody ever got back to me or refilled the cream. Then after all of this she almost hit me in the parking lot with her car. Don’t waste your time going to this doctor.

If I could give her less stars let me tell you... I would. She neglected to look into my mother's pain which ended up being STAGE 4 CANCER. When I went to her after spells of blacking out, she insisted that I was not blacking out but instead just not paying attention and I simply needed to "practice mindfulness". I went to another doctor instead who chose to actually look into my symptoms and discovered I was having a type of seizure... Shes amazing at blowing off patients and not looking into symptoms. If you want to pay money for bologna go to her.

Unprofessional, was confronted about poor review I gave during a office visit with my elderly mother. Office is horrible, my mother had very low vitamin d and I was told I would have to wait for help until she returned from vacation in a week, I basically begged for advice to give my mother but same reply "wait and use over counter". She only focus's on what you come in for not you as a whole. Very disappointed

Does not like to really ensure that a patient is told what their issue is. Is too timid to bluntly tell a patient what an issue is. Have to deal with and second family member that Dr. Sue keeps letting them te her what to tell them. Very disappointing.

Have been seeing this physician for years and have come to appreciate her knowledge, wisdom and common sense approach. Every question has been answered and all doubt erased. She works with a team of doctors that I have a lot of confidence in.
