Patients also share

The reviews reveal very few areas for improvement, with the vast majority being overwhelmingly positive. One patient mentioned that the appointment system should provide reminders about fasting requirements before physicals. Another review noted a longer-than-expected wait time in the office before being called to the exam room. One patient suggested that staff should warn patients when injections will be painful, specifically mentioning a tramadol injection. A small number of reviews indicated patients wished they had received more definitive answers about their conditions, though these were rare exceptions. One review referenced relief after a previous provider failed to return a call, suggesting some variability in the broader practice, though this did not reflect on Carol Vaughan directly.
