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 the best choice if you have polycystic kidney disease. Where I give her credit is ordering DNA tests to investigate the source of multiple renal cysts, some quite large. I have a huge problem with her idea that abdominal scans should only be done once a year. Effective control of polycystic kidney disease requires a comprehensive plan along with continual monitoring to see if the strategies used are actually working. Some people with PKD can recover without ever needing dialysis or a kidney transplant.. Please refer to the research conducted by Thomas Weimbs and Jacob Torres @ the University of California Santa Barbara.

Was admitted to the hospital she works in with bowel and bladder incontinence and a spinal cord compression causing myelopathy. She was rude, horrible, and a liar. I got discharged under her care even though I could barely walk. A day after getting discharged I went back to a different hospital through the Er and within hours was in emergency surgery and the triage nurse was shocked that I was discharged in my state, telling me bowel and bladder incontinence is a medical emergency.Beware of her.
