This Dr, was the rudest doctor I have ever met. Her bedside manners were horrible. She literally rolled her eyes when I spoke. Im not sure if it was because I had medi-cal insurance, or I just annoyed her. She did no exams, and basically told me to suck it up in regards to my pain level. I left there in tears, and I was very upset. I looked forward to that appointment for a long time because I heard she was a great doctor. Maybe she was having a bad day, Im not sure, but I would not refer her to anyone.

Every time I'd ask a question, it seemed like they were annoyed and didn't want to give me an answer. I understand they're busy, but they should really treat their clients better. I was given a brief greeting when I walked through the door, but no one made any sort of effort to help me. I felt ignored. I was shocked when they dismissed my concerns as unimportant and told me I was just overreacting. I knew that my situation needed attention, and I couldn't believe that they wouldn't even look into it. I was a little disappointed at how helpful the staff was when I called with my questions and concerns. They definitely could have been more polite. They had a few different appointment times available but none were perfect for my schedule.
