This "Doctor" Is too busy to effectively treat her patients correctly. She is always late for appointments, which isn't bad if it was a matter of her caring for the person that is in her office and not rushing them out, however based on my experience , she didtn' listen to a word a said. If she had I can't imagine she would have prescribed the medication that she had for me. I trusted her and started my medication with all the hope in the world that the pain of 35 some odd years was going to ease up. But when I started experiencing some very negative reactions, I stated to read up on the medication and what and WHO it would be best to prescribe it to, I could believe what I was reading. All that the medication stated as a side effect is what I Was suffering from. It made it so much worse. It was absolutely a horrible solution to my problems.

She prescribed a medication without much thought, and when I had a adverse reaction, she couldn't be bothered to address it. That amazed me. If she had taken a moment to listen to me and know what I was suffering from, she would have NEVER given me that medication.
She would not return phone calls and was so busy that she could not squeeze me in to address the fact that I was coming out of my skin from a medication that she prescribed. That is what hurt the most.

She appears to be a very kind person, but I would not recommend anyone signing on to see her for a while. Perhaps when her patients either die from her mistakes, or decide to see someone else, like I choose to do, then maybe she will have enough time to address issues appropriately. We can all make mistakes, but at least be adult enough to address them when you do. I wasn't looking to call a lawyer, I just wanted some help. I did not find that at Barbara Orrok'sof New Haven, Ct
