She seemed concerned and listened to my concerns.

06/12/2026

I’ve had her for awhile as my GP but my experience yesterday was horrible. I was actually early for my appointment but when she came in the room she reprimanded me for being late. Then said she really shouldn’t even see me. Was very rude and unprofessional and had no reason to be that way. I have heart issues anyway and this caused me anxiety. The nurse and front desk both affirmed I was not late. Very disappointed someone in her position acted this way. My niece was in the room as well and witnessed everything. We were both in shock as no patient should ever be treated this way.
