Unfortunately this is our third time seeing her. This time, she was short with my son (the patient), and rude towards him and myself (mom). While she checked him out thoroughly, her "bedside manner" was subpar. She asked him to get on the table and when he asked what table, she stated, "The only one in the room." (This was not in a joking manner.) When she suggested we tried a nasal spray, I tried to explain we have been for a week and it hasn't helped, she cut me off and said, "Fine! Fine! I'll prescribe a medication if that's what you want! It won't help. But I'll do it since that's what you're here for!" Additionally, in a past visit for my son about a year ago, she was visibly upset when he struggled with her checking his ears that are ticklish. She yelled at him to sit still, she told us we needed to hold him down, and then got upset and said, "Well we can't do it if you can't sit still!!" And gave up. As a pediatrician, is that the answer? To give up? She didn't try to make him comfortable or try to distract him (that I feel most pediatricians would do). Again, the entire visit she was short, rude, and clearly upset. Lastly, my daughter had an appt with her with last year. She had a rash in her vagina that was identical to my older daughter's rash who was tested the week before and was positive for strep. I tried to explain that to her and she was very rude and short with me. She made me very uncomfortable because she insisted we tested for strep but also for an STD (I can't remember what one), and then brought the doctor in to look at her vagina. She asked the doctor step into the hallway together, without myself, and what I know was to ensure it was not sexual assault. It was EXTREMELY hurtful, sad, and mortifying. I burst into tears. While at the time, I could be grateful for someone ensuring kids are not sexually assaulted, it surely would have been safe to say it was IDENTICAL to my daughters rash in her vagina a week earlier that was STREP. It was an awful experience!! I truly believe she should not be working with children with her demeanor and shortness towards them, and parents who are simply trying to make sure their children are well taken care of and healthy.

She was a np but very amazing my son has anxiety and she tried her best to make him at ease. Also made him comfortable enough to go back and address his anxiety!

I really appreciated that this provider reached out to me after hours to speak to me personally about my son and to alleviate my concerns. She definitely went the extra mile and had very helpful input for me. It was much appreciated.
