Patients also share

The reviews reveal very few areas for improvement, with only isolated concerns mentioned. One patient noted that Shannon tends to mumble her words and doesn't maintain enough eye contact, requiring them to ask for repetition, which they attributed partly to their own hearing difficulties. Another review mentioned she has a soft, low voice that can be difficult to hear. One patient commented on needing more experienced phlebotomists at the office, though this relates to support staff rather than Shannon directly. These concerns appear in only a handful of reviews among hundreds of overwhelmingly positive comments, suggesting they are not widespread issues.
