01/25/2021

Unsatisfactory. She said my lab results were very good. They were not including 'way above normal' results. She did not discuss the results of tests with me, seemed uninformed, and inaccurate in her statements. Seemed cursory and lacking in providing solutions to my questions, and in a hurry to dismiss me. Suggested antidepressants twice when I have NO depression yet she persisted without any diagnosis in advance. Frustrating, she did not listen to me.

absolutely love everyone at the practice!! and so grateful for their help!
