Rapidly growing practice overshadowing proper patient care. I am told Dr. is excellent technically (epidural injections, etc.) but patient management is horrible. Scheduling of patients to wait for hours. Dr. moves so fast has trouble transitioning from one client to next. Patients not notified to reschedule when no one will be in the office. Dr claims she will help you between appointments if needed, if meds don't work, etc., but office policy forbids this. Be prepared to suffer for the duration till your next appointment. Also be prepared to sometimes wait for hours to have meds dispensed from her office. Also, be careful to check how much you will be charged for what is dispensed to you from her office.
