"A wolf in sheep’s clothing. Don’t be mislead by what may appear as a friendly bedside manor. This doctor is not to be trusted. She lured me into the OR with the promise a pain free procedure only to do surgery she knew I would oppose. She did so by rushing me to sign a consent form on an ipad like device just before I entered the OR. She generated thousands of dollars while I had a month of being incapacitated. When I met with her, she played the victim card because I filed a complaint. No remorse. No empathy. Patients are nothing more than a revenue source. There are far better choices; Dr. Grucela of Yorktown, NY and Dr. Yee of White Plains, NY."
