Incompetent and unethical, to the point of being a danger to the public. After speaking with me casually for barely ten minutes, she proclaimed that my entire problem in life was that I had ADD--I was 31 at the time--and all I had to do to solve all of my problems in one stroke was take Ritalin. Being quite desperate, I did as she asked. The Ritalin had the usual effect (people don't take speed because it makes them feel bad), but my problems hadn't improved, so she started me on one round of medication after the other, completely at random. When I suffered severe physical reactions and psychological problems that had hitherto *not* been among my problems, e.g., extreme aggressiveness and suicidal tendencies), she shrugged and replied, "It's not supposed to do that." Then she gave me specific advice, which I followed and turned out to be disastrous; her response then was again to shrug and say, "I suppose I can't really help you." The Ritalin also caused long-term eye damage that is slowly causing me to lose my sight. She's superficially charming, by no means stupid, and an excellent businesswoman and self-promoter, and presumably that's how she's managed to stick around so long. She belongs in prison. STAY AWAY.

This Doctor just about killed my spouse. She had him on so many medications he was an absolute zombie. It took another Doctor almost a year to get him off of 90% of the horrible drugs she prescribed him. He now is so afraid of doctors I have to drag him kicking the whole way he was horribly traumatized. BE CAREFUL WITH THIS LADY, VERY CAREFUL

I love how much attention to detail they show. They are always so careful and meticulous. I never have to worry about them making a mistake or forgetting something. I've always appreciated how great they are about getting back to me right away. Whenever I call I always hear back from them within a couple of days. They were easy to reach in an emergency. When I called they answered right away and I was so relieved to hear a friendly voice.
