Report
I responded to Ms. Rosenquist's reply as a direct message to her. Giving her a bit more detail on my former situation with her. She indeed does lie and manipulate and more, which was the final death nail in my former marriage. So, I stand firmly by my original review. I'd steer clear and I'd also say many others may feel the same, as she has had not one other review in all these years of practice?
