I had a fever and she made me go through zillions of tests and spend fortune and mental fatigue/stress only to get cured by OTC medication. What a rip off ! When I changed the doctor, she did not release my medical reports to him in spite of repeated requests. Not recommended at all.

October 3, 2017Prasad K.Verified patient

Doctor herself is good and professional. However she is specialty not annual physical as listed in ZocDoc. We went for annual physical check up as booked via ZocDoc, but charged for speciaist because that's what she actually is. This is very misleading. If you are just looking for annual physical check up, skip her. But I think she could be very good with specialty if that's what you need. It was a pleasant visit.

One of the worst visit ever . Please read carefully . First about staff ... Staff does not have internal communication. One person from staff have called me and confirmed appointment ( she did not even instructed that I have to be on fast for physical primary check up ) She asked my wife about her weight and height which she supposed to measure Doctor came late almost 2 hours Clinic is dirty , and mess Bathroom does not have tissue Worst thing is her assistant removed my chest hair with used razor ( for EKG) First they told me that EKG is covered and then after few days they billed me Doctor focus was on marketing of Her fiends yoga classes than my health Plz visit other doctors who keep their words
