Yes. The doctor suggested all required vaccines and tests to be done. The doctor is willing to work with me on my health issue to be treated without medication which is what I like the most.

I was very satisfied with my visit. The doctor
October 20, 2025Apoorva A.Verified patient
She was very nice but I had some issues and won’t be returning:
-said that there was no way to know what caused 3 week long hives all over me so we won’t test for anything
-I personally found her god stickers all over her laptop unprofessional. I’d much prefer her having science stickers.
-said I smoke twice a week and she inferred that I was on the same track as my partner who died a year ago from fentanyl. Pot isn’t a gateway drug and that was insensitive.
October 9, 2025Diane R.Verified patient
The last visit was unpleasant. It has become very clear to me that she does not listen to me. She just repeats rote treatments which have never works for me. When I mentioned a treatment that I was doing, she called me crazy and that I was going to kill myself. My previous doctor was the one who suggested this treatment, and it has worked for me. I just wish she was more supportive of treatments that work for me.

The staff was very welcoming and she checked me in right away. My process was smooth!! The doctor was warm hearted and she was attentive to my overall health. She is the best!!
April 30, 2025Lasonya B.Verified patient
She looked at one problem area but said she wasn't confident in what the issue was. She did not look at a second problem area but suggested a medication might work for both problems. I was a bit frustrated that at one point said that my diagnosis of another health issue (which she couldn't assist with) probably wasn't an issue (even though I was diagnosed 20 years ago). She was nice, friendly, set clear boundaries of what she would/wouldn't help with. She might be the right doctor for someone else (clear, typical presenting health issue). But she not right for me.
