Be prepared to have the whole day opened for this doctor. She would be great if it was not for her punctuality and for her over booking her patients in hopes that someone will not show up. It is not fair to the patients' time. She runs late and not everyone has the luxury to wait. Besides that her staff is patient and helpful.
