great provider was very patient
Video visit
She was very easy going and made the whole appointment very comfortable. She was very informative on my diagnosis as well and best treatment for me.
Verified patient
1. Both times made an appointment the times and days were changed and I was pressured to do their 100 page assessment right that moment on their portal. 2. Did video call for medicine management and her screen remained black where I couldn’t see her the whole time. I offered 25 years of history from my prior doctor but all was refused. Instead she opted to ask me orally the same irrelevant questions I had just answered on the forms for an hour, never discussing current medicine on. 3. After an hour of irrelevant & fruitless, generic questions she informs me that she can’t treat me and that I needed to go in to see in person. Needing medication management & making that clear initially she probably is unauthorized to dispense the medication I was currently on so is why she wasted my time for an hour pretending; honestly the acting job was pathetic that she demonstrated. Would not recommend
Verified patient
She was a great listener and explained information very well. She also had a great attitude and I felt like she showed actual care during our session. I would highly recommend her.

Verified patient
I really appreciate the time she took to listen to my concerns and how my life impact had affected me in all aspects of my life. she asked me numerous questions to get down to the root of my problem. She didn't just assume this that and the 3rd. she genuinely listened to me.
She is very thorough and actually listens to you and makes you feel at ease. I love how personable she is; excellent bedside manner.
