Not helpful to see this doctor at all. Did not explain to patients about the pain come from or how it affects your body.

Prescribed a tricyclic without informing about side effects. I have chronic depression which materially worsened as a result and had to work out the cause myself. Scheduled an MRI, then forgot to go over the results with me. After changing several meds, I had to do my own research and suggest my own (which thankfully worked). Last week, I asked for a refill and she issued it for incorrect dosage. I don’t know what to think at that point.

Not thorough in follow up. Heard her complaining to her staff about having another patient to see (which was me). The exam room door was open and I heard her. I wish I would have left her office right then and there. Hard to understand.

Highly UNimpressive--Like diff betwn mickey mouse & Denzel Washington. Displayed "cookie-cutter" & "text book only" mentality; Highly unprofessional "lab" for EEG where silence is important (but non-existent) w/ people conversing behind 1/2 walls that don't even reach the ceiling while trying to sleep; Never bothered to go over results with me or do comprehensive neurological exam. She conducted only the most rudemintary "neurological" tests (turn your hands over & tandem walking (which I couldn't do)-obviously knows nothing about the latest research/discoveries pertaining the serious & permanent neurological damage that is caused by serious migraines. She was dismissive of serious cognitive sympt's simply bcaus a basic MRI only showed "minor" white matter lesions--not a small thing. Acknowl'd the MRI could be showing a sinus infection but entirely dropped the subject & offered no treatment ideas. Refused exlnt med options bcs they were not on her "A" list.
