Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Patients consistently praise Shannon Smothers for her exceptional listening skills, compassionate bedside manner, and thorough approach to care. Across hundreds of reviews, the most frequently highlighted strengths are her ability to make patients feel heard and unhurried, her deep knowledge and professionalism, and her willingness to explain medical information clearly and answer all questions. Many patients also commend her for being personable, warm, and easy to talk to, with numerous reviewers noting they have trusted her with their care for many years — in some cases over a decade or two. Her responsiveness through the patient portal and her follow-up after appointments are also frequently appreciated.

Patients also share

Opportunities for improvement are minimal given the overwhelmingly positive feedback, but a small number of patients noted that Shannon can speak softly or mumble at times, making it difficult to hear her clearly, and that she occasionally focuses too much on her notes rather than maintaining direct eye contact. One reviewer mentioned that she could ask more questions to learn more about a patient's background, and one noted a concern about phlebotomy staff rather than Shannon directly.
