Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this doctor. I visited her for an annual physical, and I was immediately taken aback when she asked the receptionist what insurance I had as soon as she entered the room. Despite my initial concerns, I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and continue with the appointment. However, as the appointment progressed, she rushed through everything and didn't prioritize my well-being. I even had to inquire about providing a urine sample.

When it came time for my pelvic exam and pap smear, she did not seem to consider my feelings or comfort during the exam. Moreover, when the exam was finished, the doctor did not perform other routine checks, such as checking my vision, nose, throat, or hearing.

To add to my frustrations, I was asked for a co-pay despite my insurance not requiring one for a physical exam. Additionally, the doctor was supposed to submit a prescription to the pharmacy; however, they never received it, causing further inconvenience.

Although I initially chose this doctor based on positive reviews, I would caution anyone, particularly people of color, against seeing this Beverly Hills doctor.
