"16 years ago I went to see her for postpartum depression. In the first 20 minutes of my first appointment she diagnosed me as bipolar, based on me saying my father had it. It confused me because I did not see my symptoms resembling bipolar, but she was the expert and I was desperate. The next two years were hell. She wasn't listening to me when I told her something wasn't right and kept saying it was a manic episode. Funny, I'd never had these episodes before I started meds. Every other month she was adding or changing meds because nothing was working and I was getting worse. Eventually, I attempted suicide. I was not myself anymore, my entire personality changed. My life collapsed completely, I lost my marriage, everything. I finally decided to find a new doctor and get a second opinion. After 6 months of actual thorough evaluation and taking me off all the meds, he told me I was not bipolar at all. After that, I had to completely rebuild my life and myself. 14 years later, my life is good, I still show 0 signs of ANY mental health issues, unless you count ADHD which I've had since I was 4. I take no meds and I'm perfectly fine. She was so quick to diagnose me, she got it very wrong. She didn't listen, and it nearly cost me my life. It did cost me my marriage and I've even lost memories of those two years. For her patients sake, I hope she has evolved in the way she evaluates and treats her patients."

"Unfortunately had very bad experience. Pure arrogance. Rude. Felt appointment was like a verbal sparring match. Glad to read she also has satisfied patients. Wow."

"I have been a patient for 10 years. She is that voice of reason, reassuring, caring and kind provider. I really look at her as family. I can say for sure I am a better human being thanks to her. She always believed in me even when I didn’t and I will always thank her her for that. I sincerely hope we can have another 10 years."

"She used to be my doctor, I would always go to my appointments and I would have to wait over an hour to be seen. The last time I went, I waited over an hour and a half. I got to my appointment and asked the lady at the desk were they running behind, because I had to be at work. She told me no they were not so I waited then as I was waiting there were four other ppl waiting also, so after about 45 minutes I went back up to ask again (since the sign clear says if over 30 minutes ask). "Are you all behind", she told me again no. I said ok if you are not behind then are these four ppl in front if me? The answer was yes, so I was like ok so you just lied twice, because each person appointment is at least an half an hour. Then when I complained the doctor as always acted like a jerk like she is a gift to the world, and I was wrong for being upset. Your staff lied and you had me waiting that long when I openly told you I had to be at work. I don't respect anyone or there organization when they lie and mistreat there patients. Then she told me if I wasn't happy with the way things were done then I shouldn't come back to see her anymore. I am now seeing another doctor who actually cares about his patients and is honest. I get your office can get behind, but be honest and don't lie to give me the chance to reschedule if need be. Worst service ever deserve less then one star zero star really."

"I believe she was incredibly rude, she never let me talk and never remembered why I was there. One time I was in the waiting room and she came out, and there was a women with a service dog, she lost her mind claiming she told the women "to never bring that dog inside again and this would be her last time telling her, and what was the difference between having it inside than outside" a few people stood up for her trying to explain that a service dog could go anywhere and she just shook her head. The entire thing was completely unprofessional and childish and when they asked me to sign up for my next appointment I declared that it would be my last time going there. I believe the other people in the waiting room made that decision also."
