I had a horrendous experience with this doctor. She wouldn’t allow me to speak and explain why I was there or the eye problems I was having. She turned my questions back around on me and ended up blaming me for my eye problems, which is nonsensical because I’m experiencing an eye-muscle issue. She even blamed me for something she overlooked in my medical record chart and accused me of not telling her things. She called her assistant in to read it for her, he confirmed that the information was indeed there, and she rolled his eyes and never apologized to me. She was the least helpful medical professional I have ever dealt with. I can get through someone who doesn’t have good bedside manner if he or she is a fantastic and thorough physician, but this was an absolute dumpster fire.
