    Waited in the room for 50 minutes for her, she walked in with no regard that I waited forever to see her. Only saw her for 10 mins. Told me to f/u in a month for weight loss management. I keep trying to reach her and th office about switching my pharmacy and it’s been 8 days and they’ve done nothing. I cannot reach anyone!!

    She was very dismissive, took her less than 1 minute she just signed off for the referrals and dismissed everything else I told her I was feeling.

    My first visit I had to leave because she was so behind. I was never informed and after 45 mins in the exam room, I had to leave myself and get back to work. The next time, I was just wasting her time- or so it felt. She barely looked me in the eye and when she took a cell phone call and left the room, I was completely baffled by her unprofessionalism. If she didn’t have the time or care to talk to me, I could have saved ourselves a lot of trouble. I work in a medical facility and I never treat my patients like that.

    She does not spend time to listen. Rushes in and rushes out. Nice person but doesn't do a thorough assessment.

    There have been MANY instances where I felt as though she really wasn't listening to me and as a patient, I think it is very important for the provider to allow a patient to speak of their concerns and address them. Example, I was speaking with her about a side effect of a medication I'm taking and she proceeded to recommend that I do a study of some sort! Again, I have not had this particular side effect until I started this medication, so I know that this study isn't necessary and told her so. She did acknowledge that and as I'm walking out of the visit, she once again recommended this study.

    I had physical exam and she did very little to do physical exam. The whole exam took less than 5 minutes.
