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.

She should not even be a doctor. Urgent care told me to go to the ER for concerning symptoms, this woman dismissed everything and was very condescending, rude, and didn’t listen to a word I had to say. She is an awful human being with no compassion and told me that “cancer doesn’t cause pain”. She said there was nothing wrong with me and gave me an improper breast exam and treated my concerns as a joke. She just wanted to get me out of the way so she could move to the next patient. If you get this doctor at the ER please change doctors immediately. She has no empathy and thinks she knows your body better than you do, and does not take any time to hear you out. She should not be in practice.

She was horrible. She did not listen to a word my husband or myself had to say. No compassion and blew past what was wrong. Instead of helping... she discharged my husband telling him to see his primary care. She refused to look at his chart and consult with my husbands other doctors. It was awful and dishearting that someone like her is allowed to see patients.

She has a horrible bedside manor. Miserable attitude and acts like she can't be bothered when your in the ER. Let's just say her diagnostic skills are a joke and 1st year Med Students are more accurate at least in my case. If your in the CMC Emergency Room and you are unlucky enough to have this woman attend you. Just ask for another Doc or get up and leave...Trust Me. I have no reason to lie to you. This person isn't qualified to protect human lives.
