I waited hours only to have her be rude and condescending at EVERY appointment. Even worse, she sent me out for tests that I had to pay out of pocket for and then refused to go over the results. I've been seeing her for several months and there has been zero progress of any kind. Not even helpful information. Several months and zero treatment! She schedules redundant appointments where nothing new happens, gets discussed, OR done. She's never prescribed any meds yet she requires a urine test at every visit. Seems llike an abuse of Medicare funds to me. Keeps pushing the same expensive procedures that have failed in the past for me. I can't help but to feel she's more concerned with her wallet than my health. Horrible bedside manor AND has been flat out disrespectful on more than one occasion. Looking for a new doctor!
