This doctor is very thorough and helpful, and takes time to talk to patients. I saw her about my high blood pressure and concern that some kidney functions were trending down, which was the side effect of the medication. She is very knowledgeable and she does not overmedicate patients, which is what I like, but tries to keep medication to what it is absolutely necessary with suggestions for lifestyle changes. I think she is genuinely concerned with the wellbeing of her patients. This was my second visit with her, and I would go back to see her again if needed.
