- Doesn't matter
If you get referred to this dr RUN! She is a total NIGHTMARE. THIS woman does not care at all about her patients. Does not even answer questions or take notes during visits. She just gives up on you. I didn't want to stay on pain killers let alone the dose I was on,but she had me on a lethal dose that pretty much had stopped my breathing a couple of times and she did not care at all and refused to adjust my meds. On top of all this she has a NASTY temper. She yells,screams and uses profanity if you even dare ask questions about your treatment.There is also no secretary at her office so if you need to reschedule or make an appointment or even ask a question you are out of luck. She is also very late to every appointment sometimes by an hour, that is if she can even remember to show up....2 different times i showed up at her office for my appointment and she said she wasn't aware of my appointment until she checked on her computer. Her record keeping is nonexistent and god forbid you want to leave her and get a 2nd opinion she holds your records hostage.
