Patient Reviews
Feb 01, 2023
She should be an urgent care doctor because you will be in and out in the blink of an eye. She is not a good doctor to following someone who has multiple issues such as the elderly in long term care facilities. She needs to go into occupational health or somewhere that doesn't require constant care because she is horrible at that!
