    Really bad experience. Of course it was super easy to get an appointment but a nightmare once we went. I don't know where this lady went to medical school but I really don't think she knows what she's doing. No understanding, no compassion, no explanation, always in a rush, and always super far behind schedule - too busy to see patients but drug sales reps coming and going all the time. We tried a couple times and are now back to the drawing board looking for the right doctor. Don't waste your time, find a doc with good reviews.

    Didn't seem to care about my family, asked a few questions and wrote a prescription without even explaining side effects or dosage. Then she hurried us out the door. I discussed the experience with our family doctor and he was appalled. There are too many good psychs out there - get a referral from your family doctor and avoid this train wreck.

    No compassion, purely a prescription machine. Definitely not someone you want to see if you're looking for real help. I can't believe she still has a license to practice.
