This Dr is terrible. I was not comfortable with her explanation of my diagnosis. I advised her that I would seek a 2nd opinion. I received a 2nd and 3rd opinion come to find out she missed diagnosed me and my condition became worse. She is also a very, very arrogant Dr. I would never ever see her again. I recommend no one sees this Dr.

BEWARE! Her negligence may actually put your health at risk! She ordered a sleep study for me. I completed this unpleasant experience in early November. Fast forward TWO MONTHS later and I still haven't received any results of the study! After several phone calls of me begging for results, finally a nurse practitioner (not the Dr. herself) called me back with some significant results. I'm not sure if the Dr. has even read the results! What if no one ever told me? It appears I need further treatment but it certainly with NOT be with this Dr. In fact I am exploring legal advise. If you want to have responsible, respectful interactions with your Dr. DO NOT go to her!!!

Everything was great the first few times I saw her for visits. She was caring and understanding. After I did some research, we finally found a treatment that worked for me. Then she sent me to another specialist for a second opinion. She trusted the second opinion of that specialist over the IV treatment that was actually working for me. When I stressed that I needed the IV treatment at the frequency that was working for me, she tried to manipulate me into going into the ER so she could monitor me more closely and fill me up with prednisone. Prednisone was the choice of the specialist she sent me to. I reminded her that I had adverse reactions to prednisone, and then gave me the cold shoulder. I was pretty shocked she did this to me, since she was so pleasant in previous office visits. This showed me how knowledgeable and reliable she truly was.

Anyway, I found another neurologist who was more competent, gave me the same IV treatment that was working well for me, and I've been better off now for a few years.
