She has terrible bedside manner and ZERO compassion for a mother trying to advocate for their baby with terrible rashes and GI issues with a lot of foods. She made me feel terrible and I would never recommend any mother taking their child to such a heartless woman. Please let her know that just because she has a mask on, doesn't mean you can't tell the faces she's making at you."
