I and my 98 year old mother went to see her. I didn’t get good feelings about her. Bottom line she diagnoses everything as eczema and hands out cortisone unless you challenge her. Poor patient dr manner. Seems not very interested. Not friendly. My gut was right when I saw her the second time. Sorry for this review but I think it is necessary to be honest with dr reviews.

Was a patient, family was patients. Misdiagnosed and scary.

I was her patient in Moncton NB on June 15 2020 she misdiagnosed a melanoma tumor growth on my eye lid as a venous lake. The second visit was July 15 2020 again she stuck by her original diagnosis and refused to do a biopsy and told me to pay a plastic surgeon to remove it if it bothered me. So after a long wait to get in believing there was no urgency I went to a plastic surgeon who took one look and said that is cancer. The plastic surgeon did a biopsy January 4 2021 and it was melanoma which had spread. I ended up having six surgeries starting January 27 2021 and ending June 11 2021, removal of eyelid and melanoma growth, parotid gland removed, and twice had to have lymph nodes removed in my neck. I am now in cancer treatment. I have photographs and I have seen a new dermatologist since then who was shocked at the lack of diligence and care provided to me. Please choose carefully your life depends on it.
