Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

not very impressed. She was great for the first and 2nd visits but since then she does not have my records ready when I arrive and during one visit she thought that I was a new patient and it took her another 10 minutes or so (after waiting 20 minutes in an exam room) to locate my records and then she still could not locate my most recent lab results. Now with the covid-19 she did allow me to do virtual visits, but has refused to allow me to do so again, when I am holding steady and my labs are actually improving. This is despite my telling them of my concerns with exposure and the fact that I just had 2 emergency visits to a dentist in the past week - which in itself leaves a person more exposed to the virus in addition to other non related health concerns with going in to the office at this time. Going to be looking for another doctor

About Me

care philosophy

I believe that my patients need to understand their medical issues and the rationale behind the treatment decisions that we make. I like to teach them daily and believe that if they have a more complete understanding, they will participate more fully in their care.

biography

I love practicing medicine. Talking with my patients and helping them navigate their medical issues is absolutely fascinating and I never tire of it.
