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.

Sadly, she does not listen to patients who are looking for help bc of the way they feel. She refused additional testing when patient was still experiencing far from normal symptoms. After this, I will now need a second opinion bc I cannot trust her at all. What kind of dr refuses testing when - patient is seeking help bc they are still/more symptomatic of something. I could understand if I was requesting pain pills but all I wanted was additional testing. She should be embarrassed. Her answer.... get a psychiatrist and anti depressants. Do not go to her. Makes sense why she had available appts so quickly.

I gave one star only because the was no option for zero!! Terrible experience. She doesnt listen, cuts you off and has a dismissive attitude. She insisted that aspirin and /or triptan meds were the only available medications for nerve pain and migrane headaches. I think someone needs to go back to Med School and while she is there she may want to retake Working With People/Bedside manners 101.. DO NOT BOTHER GOING HERE...GIANT WASTE OF TIME!!!! WISH I READ REVIEWS PRIOR

Do NOT go to her. She treats disabled people VERY poorly. I'm unfortunately on disability because I can't work due to serious health issues. I went there for memory problems. She didn't even help me with them! Instead, she couldn't get over the fact that I'm on SSI because I'm young. She ended up questioning/interrogating me my ENTIRE appointment over why I'm on SSI. She was extremely rude, insulted me, acted like I was faking. I cried after I left. I had never felt so belittled in my life.

I have been to many doctors (I have a rare disease) and she is by far the worst I have ever seen. I honestly wish I would have listened to the other reviews. It was so bad I had to get on here myself to write a review, which I have never done. She didn't want to help, didn't want to run any tests, and completely disregarded me. I appreciate her honesty but it is to a fault and comes off extremely careless and lazy. Please, do not waste your time.

A student wrote down symptoms on scrap paper and then relayed to doctor. Neither truly listened to my concerns. Not sure if she could help me because what I told her didn't seem to make sense. She put words in my mouth and did not listen to my concerns . Didn't touch my head but said she would schedule CT. Still waiting for her to "finish her notes" before she puts in the order for ins preauthorization which will take a minimum of 72 hours. Oh, she did say it might just be anxiety. Horrible exp.

Doctor belittle me and never ask about any of my symptoms (headaches, balance problems and only focused only on my memory problems like a was lying to her. I get severe temporal headaches and balance problems and I become unstable and fall. DO NOT GO TO THIS WOMAN FOR ANYTHING!!! She had the nerve to belittle the meningioma brain tumor I had removed as only a cyst!!! If I knew this was the kind of doctor she was I would have never wasted my time with a quack like her!!!
