Patients also share

While the vast majority of feedback is positive, a handful of reviews point to areas for improvement. A few patients felt rushed or that visits were too brief, with one review specifically mentioning that time constraints didn't allow for full discussion of lupus-related concerns. A small number of reviews described more serious concerns about feeling dismissed or unheard, including one patient who felt the doctor was dismissive of previously diagnosed conditions, and another who felt rushed and that their flare-up symptoms weren't validated. One patient noted difficulty with a switch from an in-person to video visit when the doctor was reportedly unfamiliar with their medical history, and another mentioned frustration when an appointment felt unnecessary since there had been no changes since the prior visit. A couple of reviewers also mentioned minor communication or accent-related understanding difficulties, though these were typically resolved during the visit.
