Had to wait for the receptionist to come back from lunch for over 35 min. to book the next appointment for an ultrasound test and to see the Dr. after because, the man that relieved her did not know how to book it.
Not good.

June 9, 2021Lisa G.Verified patient
Bad experience. First PA was trying to get rid off me without seeing the Doctor. PA and nurse were too lazy to make a phone call to get my sonogram report from Radiology. When I insisted to see Doctor. Doctor came but she didn’t bother to check or ask what issues I have. It was a total waste of my time

I will need to go back in and edit my review to 5 stars all across the board if it turns out the doctor recommendation was right. I just have to agree with a lot of the reviews I saw about the visit being too quick and feel like rushing, that is the feeling. I think mine was less than 10 min conversation but then it did not seem that I went to the right doctor for me, I do not want to be judgmental but it definitely was very very quick, almost felt embarrassed asking questions as the doctor seemed to want to end the meeting, you cannot take away that she has nice manners and seems accommodating.

Not good.
December 22, 2020Badr Y.Verified patient
The doctor was very nice, but after waiting for nearly and hour to see her, I felt that she rushed through my appointment, and dismissed me simply because she thought I was “30 years too young to have vascular issues.” She spent all of 5 mins “examining” me. At the time, I didn’t think to press her for a more thorough synopsis, because I trusted what she said. However, in hindsight, I do believe that she could have and should have asked me more questions to determine if I have DVT. As a last effort to figure out why my ankles and knees keep getting swollen, my PCP suggested that I see a vascular doctor, which I explained. This doctor also never asked me about a family history of blood clots. If you see this doctor, please be sure to do your homework first and research every possible question to ask in advance, as she will not ask you any info, regardless of your age.

The doctor was 1 hour behind on schedule, which is the only downside of my visit.
Overall she was very knowledgeable, asked about my family history , checked things I was concerned with and suggested treatment and when it should be done.
The appointment felt a bit rushed but overall I would come back.

September 22, 2018Tihomira T.Verified patient
It was very fast. Not sure if it was because mine was a easy situation, but it felt she was in a hurry. The visit took about 6 minutes Beside that her bedside manner were great, she was very kind and gentle.

An exceptional physician. Her bedside manner is tops and she is thorough and takes time to explain everything. Would recommend her without hesitation.
December 29, 2017Melvin H.Verified patient
Dr. B was really professional and really great. She really took the time to talk to me and ynderstsnd the situation. The first time I went there was a small hold up with time but the next time I was taken in right away. I highly recommend her!
