Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

The most frequently highlighted strengths are her attentiveness and willingness to listen, with dozens of reviewers noting that she takes time with each patient and never makes them feel rushed. Her ability to clearly explain diagnoses, treatment options, and what to expect — both short and long term — is repeatedly commended. Patients also frequently describe her as warm, caring, and personable, with several noting her great sense of humor and bedside manner.

Patients also share

The critical feedback in these reviews is minimal and limited to a small number of isolated comments. One reviewer felt she seemed rushed during their visit, leaving little time for meaningful interaction. Another noted that they had to ask many questions themselves to understand next steps and overall progress, rather than having that information proactively shared. One reviewer mentioned that she left the exam room without saying goodbye, which caused brief confusion. One reviewer felt she could have listened more attentively. These concerns represent a small fraction of the overall feedback and do not reflect a consistent pattern.

Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
