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.

Cold. Judgmental
Not an active listener. Doesn't care about the patient, only her clinical stats. Judgmental.

Incompetent
My mom saw this MD who let her leave Walter Reed with a blood pressure in the range for hypertensive crisis. She let her leave without doing anything and she also told her it’s OK not to take her blood pressure medicine all the time. We have record of this. Four days later she had a massive stroke. This MD needs her medical license taken away from her. I hope to God at some point she’s treated by a medical professional the way she treats people.

I will not see her again. She rushed me through the appointment. I never finished speaking a full sentence before she talked over me and she has zero interpersonal and listening skills.

Overall impression is that she lacks interpersonal skills and is not patient centric at all. I want to be seen by somebody who at least shows concern for my health. I do not recommend her.
