I didn’t even get to meet with Karen. She should be held accountable if she is out of the office and not communicating with employees that she will be in

Don’t ever go to her! The worst of the worst. Very rude and unprofessional when it comes to respecting the patient. She judges your choices of having kids. She chose the wrong field to work in. do not accept her even if your life depended on it. A BIG NOoooooooooo!!!!
