In patients' words
"Atrocious bedside manner. More interested in belittling, embarrassing, and shaming than she is in helping."
— Healthgrades review (Dr. Tamera Howell)"It takes days to get a callback. You never get an answer on the nurses line and you won't get to speak to a doctor unless you somehow manage to get someone on the phone who will leave him a note."
— Yelp review (LewisGale Physicians Women's Health Specialists)"After dealing with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome for 12 years I felt like I have finally gotten the answers and care I’ve needed for a long time."
