Verified patientVideo visit
Incredibly rough, I was treated less like a patient and more like an opponent. when I asked questions about why certain medications were chosen I was told to not ask questions until the end, when I did then ask again I was instead told to see a psychologist without elaborating or answering my original question. Multiple times I had debated ending the call as I had felt unseen and disrespected. Her bio says she works WITH patients to find a suitable treatment, I can say unequivocally that is not the case, she is not interested in explaining nor working with the patient, sees the patient as a obstacle as opposed to a person

This was the first time a doctor actually LISTENED and LET MEKEEP TALKING. I have never seen a doctor that didn’t interrupt me non stop or tell me they didn’t need to hear all of it, etc. I’m horrible at rambling and getting sidetracked in conversations and she listened and didn’t make me feel bad about it. I felt like I was finally able to open up for the first time and not feel judged or embarrassed. I couldn’t recommend her enough. 10/10

Did not seem to understand the term neurodivergent. Did not want to accept my valid ADHD diagnosis because it was "too recent" after talking to me for 30 minutes. Asked leading questions to try and change my diagnosis to Bipolar. Do not recommend for late diagnosed ND females.
