This doctor is very inconsiderate and I would never recceomend her to anyone. She starts booking appointments early in the morning and doesn't show up until lunch time to start seeing them. She does not care nor consider the importance of other people's time.

Just like everyone else - she's terrible. I stuck with her for about a year, because I really wanted a female Dr. to do my yearly exam. But she's not worth it. Like other responses - I would go in for 1 thing and walk out with a prescription for an anti-depressant. I would not recommend her.

I saw her once, and once only. She was already an hour behind (I was apparently the second appointment of the day), and when she finally came in she was with me less than 3 minutes before she left to answer a phone call! When she came back she told me she doesn't prescribe certain drugs (not a problem, as I was there because I wanted a PAP smear done by a female physician). She then told me that this appointment was an "interview", and that I should make another one for the PAP. Needless to say, I did make another appointment, with another doctor!

Very brisk. Doesn't really listen to patients. Ready to prescribe something before you're even done telling her what's wrong.

I cannnot believe this woman is actually allowed to practice medicine!!! First of all, she looks more like a call girl with her 50 pds of makeup and clearly overdone breasts! When talking to her all she did was say "uh huh, uh huh" while checking her wristwatch. Late? You want to talk about late?? For example, and I'm only going to give you one example of my many, my appointment was the 1st one of the day, (10:00) she didn't even waltz in until 11:30 (I would have came through the back door myself so patients wouldn't see) and even then, I never got to see her until 2:00 pm. You clearly have to take a whole day off work to see her, and even then her diagnosis, I'm clearly glad I got a second opinion!!!

I was completely appalled by my experience with her. Her tardiness was the least of my worries. She completely disregarded my initial reason for my visit and refused to talk about more that one concern in a visit. She actually brought up my wieght as her biggest concern (I am about 15 pds from my ideal body wieght) and wanted me to return weekly to wiegh in, like Jenny Craig. I felt ripped off and shocked that someone like this should practice medicine. All this being said as she talked to me with her collagen filled lips and silcome breasts. Not recommended at all. I saw her 3 times and still she did not address my initial concern, which was fairly serious.

Like the others, yes, she is always late but I believe the wait is well worth it. Without a doubt she is one of the most knowledgeable family physicians in Alberta. Great bedside manner and is always willing to take the time to explain everything clearly. I am very happy to have her as my family physician, highly recommended.

Never on time. I stopped going to her because of the stressfullness of waiting. I would rather drive 4 hours to Banff to see my old doctor than deal with her again. Also, prescribed pain killers too easily instead of talking about physio therapy.

I wait, on average, 1 hour (past my scheduled appointment time) to see her. Once I waited 1 hour and 45 minutes. I do find it very frustrating. Once I get into the office I feel rushed and I notice that she frequently interrupts me. Last year I wasn't satisfied with her explanation for changing a medication I was taking. I actually went to another physician to discuss the matter.

I thought she was nice but if you have nothing better to do than wait in the lobby for 2 to 3 hours before your appointment go see her. Another patient once told me that after waiting for 2 hours she came in with shopping bags.
