Patients also share

While the majority of feedback is highly positive, a few reviews point to areas for improvement. One patient described a deeply negative experience following a miscarriage, feeling that Westby's cheerful demeanor and repeated reassurances that her situation was "normal" felt dismissive rather than emotionally supportive during a sensitive moment. Separately, one review noted that she seemed rushed and dismissive, with bedside manner described as "forced or fake," while another single reviewer felt she was dismissive and didn't listen well. A couple of reviews mentioned long wait times, including one where a patient had to wait a while for an update before being sent to the lab. One patient also noted a minor issue where Westby didn't recall a detail from their chart (that they didn't have children), suggesting more careful chart review before visits. Additionally, one review raised a concern about a rude and unhelpful staff assistant, though this was not about Westby herself.
