I went to see her for depression few months ago. First of all, she was wearing ill fitted top, her half of stomach was showing while I was talking to her which was very unprofessional. I thought only people dress lilke that is the type of people you see in the street advertising their services. She prescribed $250 medications, and I was having financial difficulty at that time, so I asked her if she could find genetic ones that I could afford before trying the expensive medicine. Also, I explained that i have so much allerty and reactions to medications. She did not even speak to me directly and had the receptionist called me to explain that it was the ONLY medicine would work for me and refused to consider anything else. She never even responded herself and communicated through the receptionist only. So, her receptionst was discussing my medical conditions with me, and I do not think its appropriate under HEPPA. I asked receptionist how does doctor would know if I would have allergy or not since she is not internal physician. Her receptionist kept repeating same thing and refused to help me. Later she billed me for $250, and the insurance co paied $200. She billed me for $50 and I called her office to explain I was having tough time, that I would pay her later when I get caught up with my situation. 2 months later, she referred me to the collection agency without billing me or calling me and charged intterest and fees for $15.00 in addition to $50. So $15 equivalent to 150% inerest on an annual basis. WOW. Do you want to go see this doctor? What I think of this woman? She is totally ignorant, arrogant, unprofessional, and she is more concerned about her money than the patients. And most of all, have your receptionst talk to patient? Her receptionist should be a doctor then. She made herself completly unaccessible to her patient by hiding behind her receptionist. I do not know why. Serisouly, her license should be revoked for lack of patient care, unprofessional manner, and have receptionist discuss medications with patients. I could not recommend her in good conscience even if she paid me $100,000. uui
