She has always been very personable & I rated her highly for the many years she has been my doctor. But something happened at my last appt. She did not listen to a single serious concern I had about debilitating side effects of my drugs. Totally ignored me. Did not even make mention of my concerns in her summary notes which included WRONG information. So now searching for a new doctor!
