Patients also share

While overwhelmingly positive, a small number of reviews identify areas for improvement. The most significant concern involves follow-up communication, with one patient reporting they never received an expected call about test results, and another noting a prescription was not sent to the pharmacy, leaving them without antibiotics for 48 hours. A few patients felt their visits were rushed or that the provider seemed somewhat disengaged, with one mentioning she spent only about two minutes with them. Several reviewers noted instances where examinations felt less thorough than expected, such as not checking ears or lungs when relevant symptoms were present, or not fully examining the area of complaint. A couple of patients mentioned she was late to their appointments or that they left without a clear explanation of their diagnosis beyond receiving prescriptions for their symptoms.
