Patient Reviews
Oct 06, 2024
She was disbelieving of my symptoms. She questioned everything I said. I think she doesn’t like it if the patient consults with other doctors. While I was there she received a call from another patient and told staff to tell patient to stop calling and that he’s an idiot. This all occurred in my presence. For a so called doctor to be visibly angry that you consulted other doctors to solve a problem… this is a huge red flag and I’d never trust her with my body. And I’m not alone in this assessment.
