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.

Unprofessional and Rude!!!
This woman has a terrible attitude, is incredibly dismissive and should not be in the position that she is. She is arrogant and aggressive in nature. Blows my mind that she’s able to be this way . Any review you read says the same thing over and over. Lutheran General you have missed the mark here

In the hospital she went over the EEG footage with her 5 year old son repeated a few times she wasn’t violating hiipa. Worst part she said, My son calls your son Googly eyes. She repeated it again trying to get a reaction thinking it was cute. Our 2 month old is suffering from seizures and she thinks it’s funny her son calls our so. Googly eyes. Unprofessional. She doesn’t listen. And doesn’t have an understanding of what an Epilepsy actually is.

Not sure how’s she’s a Neurologist, much of which deals with Epilepsy. She is unfamiliar what an Epilepsy is and has absolutely no understanding of it and should be referring those patients to a specialist or someone who knows what it is. When she speaks it seems as if she’s making it up as she goes along it’s very uncomfortable

She was very rude and condescending. She seems inpatient and hurried. I would not recommend this neurologist.

I am stunned and extremely disappointed in the unprofessional behavior of this doctor, She repeatedly interrupted me when I had a question, she made me feel stupid and was downright rude. Having a disabled child this doctor needs a reevaluation to work with children, I have never experienced the most cold, and uncomfortable feeling from a supposed professional in my entire life. Please do not see this doctor.
