Run
My experience - Run, run as fast as you can, she's rude and not helpful at all. She has no people skills, she gets on the phone and say what do you want. she cuts you off mid sentence. She doesn't explain anything to you. She gets no stars from me

Replied last March 01, 2025This was a woman who called my office and could not answer any question about the details of her case. The conversation lasted less than two minutes before she ended the call.
