Not a great doctor. I've been to her several times and each time I go, she interrupts our visit and steps out. I can then hear her talking to another patient in the next room for 10 minutes or so, leaving me waiting, and then finally comes back in to continue our time. I don't think I've ever spent more than 10 minutes with her; most of my time there is waiting. She really doesn't listen to issues well and seems to simply guess at diagnoses. Also, my first visit, I was called an hour and a half after my scheduled appt. time.

Simply terrible. I've never written anything on a ratings site of any kind, so you have to understand how compelled I am to put this down in writing. Issues I come in with are "diagnosed" in five minutes, if it can even be called a diagnosis. More like a trial and error method with my health issues until some drug or treatment is deemed sufficient rather than attempting to sort through symptoms to find an underlying cause. I don't actually remember if she asked me any questions on particular symptoms. Generally not on time, once was 30 minutes to an hour late. Staff is also awful. I was billed for blood work I never had done, called their office and got it taken off their books, but now I keep receiving a bill from Beth Israel the hospital, which apparently charges for analysis done of the blood received from their lab. I've called their office to get them to tell Beth Israel that I never had that work done. This whole ordeal has lasted more than 3 months. It's still not resolved.

Very respectful of whatever limits you set. I refuse to have anything to do with needles, and although she asks if I'd be comfortable getting a shot or having bloodwork done, when I tell her I'm not, she doesn't push. This is the first doctor I've ever had who was that respectful of my wishes--and it means I'm more likely to go see her, and thus, make informed decisions about my health. She's also not one to recommend a lot of unnecessary procedures--she keeps things simple and straightforward, and really seems to care, when she listens to you. I can't rate her highly enough!

She is such a good Dr. I went through 3 doctors until I came to her. She took the time to talk to me and explain the answers to all my questions. I even needed a last minute prescription and I got it right away!

She is extremely straightforward and professional. If you are sick and need a smart doctor to get you well, go here.

Cold. Condescending. Doesn't respond to calling for lab results. Awful.
