The Dr. was very quick and to the point. I stated that I was sick and needed medication. I stated that I was sick and she never prescribed or suggested any type of cough remedy or medication to help. I told her that i needed different medications refilled and she failed to send them to the Pharmacy.. When I emailed her about it she suggested I make another appointment. I would not recommend this quick very unpersonal Dr. nor will i see her again.
