"I completely agree with previous post about excessive rougness with newborn. She should not be handling infants. Also her outlooks on nutrition and supplementation are extremely outdated. I scheduled my 15 months old son for a routine appointment and shots. She made me feel like an inadequate parent and was opposed pretty much to everything I had to say. We don't consume dairy in our family due to sensitivity and intolerance. She asked me how do I supplement calcium and vitamin D to my son? Nursing and sunshine were not satisfactory answers. There are plenty of foods that are rich in calcium beside dairy. She still gave me the recommended dairy intake pamphlet and told me that my kids bones are brittle!?! This was our second and last visit with her. First time we seen her my son was a newborn and she squeezed his stomach so hard, poor guy turned red. I've never seen anybody handling newborn like that. Worst experience ever..."

"Very dismissive. When it came to dealing with our child she was very rough with her and lacked knowledge and was very indecisive of what may have been wrong with her. She could have been a little bit more caring but was acting like she was in a rush. It took every ounce of me to not tell this lady to take her hands off my daughter because of how she was mishandling her. She should seriously consider retiring. I would not recommend this lady to see newborn infants at all."
