She made eye contact and was very pleasant as soon as she entered the room. Dr Rita seemed genuinely interested in listening to what I had to say. She took me in her office to look at results of my tests & explained them thoroughly, as well as what we need to do going further. I never saw these records if tests, etc I had done. These results need to be seen by the patient....me! I did not like getting a call from other docs and getting statement from them "test was ok" . I need to know details. I can handle it! There were results that she told me on tests ordered from my other doctors that they never even mentioned to me. That is not right!

I’ve had 2 appointments. Both times I was told she was running late. I waited 50 minutes the first time and 30 the second. Anther time my appointment was canceled but I wasn’t notified because they called my land line that was out of order but didn’t bother to call my cell. It’s list time and money for me.
