Patient Reviews
Sep 07, 2023
She was previously was my dr back in 2019 and I switched from her for a reason. I hated that she was the on call Dr for my original dr when I was in a hospital for a serious condition. I called her she had no empathy at all, she basically was trying to tell me things that had nothing to do with what was going on with me. She was jus very rude to the point I had to hang up on her. I don’t see how she meets NorthShore Standards.
