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.

First and last time
She was extremely rude and I felt so uncomfortable the whole time it’s like being with the loud aunt that nobody likes or wants around she kept giving unsolicited “mom advice” and making comments that were unprofessional and rude. She did not listen to my health concerns, she dismissed my complaints and I felt like it was a complete waste of my time! Never have I had this bad of an experience with a doctor. She was trying to blame my problems on anything she could pin even though my answers were no to her questions. She kept focusing on factors that didn’t matter like caffeine (I don’t drink coffee or soda If anything I rarely drink iced tea) and she spent most of her energy focused on blaming my issue on caffeine and spicy food. Like what! I went to another professional and got my health concerns taken care of.

Stay away
Did not listen to my problem, did not order any tests. Pushed hormones and sent me to other specialist who was able to diagnose me even though it wasn't his field

Extremely rude and unprofessional. She belittles and berates her patients and then blames it on her blunt honesty. The 1 and only time I went to her was for a routine papsmear. The whole time she was talking about my weight.. I know im overweight, im working on it, I came to her for a PAP not a weight loss consult. She was constantly cutting me off and not allowing me to fully answer her questions, blaming my irregular periods on my weight without doing ANY testing prior. She didn't give me ANY privacy to get dressed after the PAP, she just sat down at the computer and told me to get up and get dressed. I will NOT be going back, I HIGHLY suggest you not go to her. She should not be working in this field if she cannot be honest while being kind and gentle at the same time.
