    Overall she was fine and nice enough however if she spent a total of 20 seconds doing my exam I think I’m being generous. The pathetic breast exam she gave me was absolutely nothing like I’ve had with numerous other doctors on the group. If I wasn’t having a mammo right after I would have asked another provider to do an additional exam. Also on my pelvic exam she was very quick, I don’t think she checked my ovaries at all. Literally the fastest and lacking gynological exam I’ve ever had. Perhaps it’s because she’s an NP, but when I made the appt I was told she does everything so perhaps she prefers not to do physical exams, I don’t know

    She was very nice but I felt like she didn’t know me or my history and also the appointment felt rushed and I just felt unimportant.

    I am used to seeing a gynecologist but since mine is no longer there, I had to see a NP. She gave me the quickest exam in all my years of going to a gynecologist. I prefer to see a new doctor next time I make an appointment.

    Not a warm person. Thought she was abrupt and appearance not very professional . Same with receptionist. Looked unshowered and ungroomed.. septum piercings which I really have no problem with being a tattoo artist .. but a Dr or nurse or staff just out of place and unprofessional

    Elizabeth was very quick during my appointment. I am a new patient of hers and recently had to switch providers, and did not feel comfortable whatsoever with her. Its vulnerable enough seeing a gynecologist, but she didnt help with that feeling at all. She barely went over my history and didnt take the time to give the care that the last provider did at this office. I walked out feeling very disappointed and uncomfortable. It seemed like she had better things to do than take care of a new patient. Ive never experienced this low level of care until I saw Elizabeth.
