In patients' words
"The second one was a nightmare. She insulted my daughter... She is cold, lacking ANY professionalism, dismissive, and a piece of garbage of a human being."
— Healthgrades (Dr. Ruth Barron)"Serious power tripper. Make sure you keep a little of your medication aside when it's time to renew. He likes to withhold crucial meds kind of out of the blue."
— Vitals (Dr. Charles Silberstein)"Incredibly empathic and insightful. Helped me immeasurably."
