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.

Saved my life
I saw her with a kidney condition that my doctor had ignored for years. She immediately sent me for imaging and plainly told me the seriousness of my condition. I am now fine thanks to her intervention.

Too judgemental for me
During my visit she was making assumptions about my chances of me having HBP or a CVD without a thorough review of my medical history. She also tried to provide nutrition advice. I went in for a physical when my regular doctor was away.

Have been seeing her for 6 years. She always takes the time to talk with me and is very thorough. Will take as long as is needed at each visit and never makes me feel rushed. I have complex medical conditions and she has the expertise to handle them while also being a great PCP. I can see what some people describe as “spacey” but I would just say her personality may not be a good fit for everyone. She is very compassionate and kind and I’ve always felt like she truly cares about her patients.

Terrible doctor. Doesn’t care to help you. She’ll roll her eyes at you, tell you she doesn’t know to basically anything you ask her, dismiss whatever you say. Ruined my day whenever I saw her. I changed my PCP after several bad visits with her.

She’s a good listener, very attentive, and does not make me feel “hurried.” I’ve been seeing her for about 5 years as my primary physician, not one bad visit yet.

The worst and most emotionally abusive doctor I've ever seen. Totally spaced out - as other people have mentioned. Rude. Dismissive. Did not listen to anything I said. Barely looked at me. Only looked at me to roll her eyes. When I asked for a referral to a specialist, she said, "NYU has a website, look it up yourself." I can't summarize it all here, but stay away. And if you have had a problem with her, write to NYU. She should be fired. Her dismissiveness borders neglect.

I agree with one of the other reviews which mentions her very "spacey" demeanor. She barely asks any questions and prescribes meds without fully explaining the benefits and risks. Doesn't even tell you how or when to stop taking the meds.

This Dr seems so spaced out all of the time. She throws pills at you and doesn't really give a crap to do follow up testing that is needed. I was misdiagnosed by her twice. Getting an appointment here is near impossible when you are sick. What is the point in having a primary care who tells you to go to the ER because she can never fit you in? Avoid.
