Late. Condescending. Didn't let me know what my 'real' lab results were...got a fill in the blank office form. Never went to her again. Went to get lab results 1 year later (because I was having problems) and found that the problems were in the lab report she had. Stay away....

UNCARING!!! Does not follow up with test results unless an appointment is made so she can make more money. Expands in office proceures to generate more revenue, such as the need for a complete physical which was not necessary. Appears to be lazy in that work is a diversion to other activities she would rather be involved in. Stay away from this doc, I have.

Does not read chart or remember patient history, even if you had just seen her 2 weeks earlier. Seems to have poor memory, as she ordered a urine sample, then forgot so I had to remind the nurse. She will meet you with a smiling face, but once she rushes through the appointment in ten minutes you're left confused and unsatisfied, and with the feeling that she does not care what happens to you. Had a receptionist call and tell me my abdominal pain was from ovarian cysts (which turned out to be untrue) and told me to go to a gynocologist. Gives inaccurate time-frames for when tests will be completed, and does not return messages. After seeing her 6 or 7 times in the last 6 months, I'm finding another doctor.

I developed pneumonia for which she treated me unsuccessfully. After months of insisting she treat me for the pneumonia that never went away, she finally referred me to a pulmonologist. I am currently recovering from having 1/3 of my lung removed after current bouts of pneumonia turned necrotic and destroyed a large portion of my lung.

She had a receptionist call me with a positive cancer biopsy and then give me the wrong info about what to do next. The 'receptionist' [not even a nurse!] said, "You have a teensy weensy cancer in your left breast. Go to an oncologist." (not a surgeon) Uncaring I can deal with, but not coupled with incompetence. It seems like she's operating a business and not practicing medicine. I never went back and the office never called me back to find out if I lived or died.

Doesn't listen to patient. Rushes a patient through office visit without getting vital info for patient's health care. Will only address one issue a office visit,(& incompletely many times.) & states patient needs to make another office visit if they need to get help for another health problem. Does not review patient chart before seeing patient & hasn't a clue of what patient is dealing with in regards to their health problems even though patient has seen Dr. many times. Doesn't educate patient in regards to their health issues & options.
