gives, in my opinion, seemingly canned "talks" based on age of child during physicals without real focus and concentration on the specific child and/or parent she is speaking with. IMO, has tendency to talk over parent in rather sing-song-y voice. i felt i had to be extremely forceful to "get a word in edgewise" and had to work to "manage" her in order to try to get her to really focus on my concerns regarding my children (which in the end, i don't think she did. also, she will not treat children who have not had all immunizations (including MMR or equivalent - she says her office will break that shot down into three separate immunizations to administer to children and that, to quote her, she considers "bending over backwards"). she actually called me to, in my opinion, reprimand me for not having my 2 year and 3 month-year-old given the MMR after i tried to make an appointment for my other son who i am concerned had a negative effect from the MMR when he received it when he was 2.
