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 not recommend this provider
She was rushed, condescending, and most of all, could not answer my questions appropriately, suggestive that she has poor understanding of what she is dealing with.

Endocrinology
What stood out in my visit was that it was rushed and she exhibited no empathy. She explained to me “ you are going to have this condition for the rest of your life” and then continued to talk as though what she said was no big deal. Also her responses via my chart are rude and she has no bed side manners. I would not recommend her, I do not trust her with my care, so I am changing providers.

Incompetent, practices willful ignorance by putting words into the patient's mouth. Not worth wasting time on. She knows very little about the disease I'm diagnosed with, and has given dangerous treatment. (More like, lack thereof) If you want to be in trusted hands, do not see her.

Does not accept Hypothyroidism Patients
Took me 3 mths of calls to this clinic at Harborview, them making my PCP send referrals and notes to simply attempt an appointment, and finally someone at Harborview called to say the doctor does not accept patients with hypothyroidism despite being an endocrinologist. No explanation as to why.
