Review for Dr. Vinogradov
Dr. Richmond-Mart was so so so sweet. I felt super comfortable around her and truly felt like she cared about what I was saying, both in terms of my health and my personal life. She made sure to explain every procedure before she did it so that there were no surprises which is perfect for someone...

Review for Dr. Richmond-Mart
Went to a visit to discuss the possibility of having p.o.t.s and he stated “P.O.T.S is only for old people”, a false misconception that I don’t think a doctor should be making. I was however eventually diagnosed with P.O.T.S by another out of state doctor without help from Dr. Ljem.

Review for Dr. Ijem
She reduced my estrogen, eventually stopping it. I went to another gynecologist who indicated that should not have been done and I am back on estrogen. This will also help reduce my hair loss. I do not recommend this obgyn.
