I chose this doctor because of her good reviews. Maybe she had an off day, but my visit was useless and upsetting. Save yourself time and money and go directly to a specialist or less expensive telemedicine route.
I went in for an annual physical and had a question/concern. For the physical, all they did was take vitals which are standard for any visit, with no actual physical checkup. They charged insurance for it though!
When I brought up my health concern, I barely muttered the first sentence, she rushed into proposing over-the-counter meds to relieve my symptoms. I could not believe it, how about investigating what may be causing this issue first? When I was able to get my 3 cents in, I asked for tests, she agreed. And I was charged for the 2nd appointment. I could have just asked for tests via a less expensive telemedicine...
Then another charge for talking on the phone about my results and her telling me to go see a specialist.
What was the point of me going to see this doctor? Just to get tests and be referred to a specialist? And get charged for 3 appointments? FYI, a phone appointment costs the same as in person.

Dr. Umene was very thorough with all my concerns and very personable. She was great ! I’m happy I found her to be my new doctor.
November 13, 2018Vanessa W.Verified patient
Kind doctor with a good bedside manner who appears to mean well, but overall has not been helpful and was dismissive of my concerns. When I followed her advice she turned around and criticized me for taking the steps I did when I was simply following her advice.

Dr. Umene took the time to have a conversation with me about my concerns and was very thorough. I appreciate how she opted for the more natural and less evasive way to treat my medical concerns.

September 6, 2018Joan A.Verified patient
Dr. Umene was easy to talk to; I felt we were able to have a discussion that led to her narrowing down what to test. She made sure to only suggest tests that were needed, and set my mind at ease about some things that had been worrying me. All around a great visit; I'll be back!

Wonderful caring person. Very sympathetic regarding my frustration with some unfortunate issues that have led me to leave my previous PCP. I felt like I received a very thorough exam and I'm definitely staying with Dr. Umene!
August 3, 2018Linda K.Verified patient
She was very thoughtful and asked plenty of questions about my symptoms. This made me feel like she really cared and was invested in diagnosing me correctly. She also presented me with a variety of options for treatment and make a recommendation about which ones would probably be best for me. This let me feel that I had a hand in taking care of my own health.
