Patients also share

The reviews contain very few criticisms or areas for improvement. One patient mentioned it was "odd" that they hadn't seen the supervising physician in a long time, suggesting some patients may expect more direct physician involvement alongside PA care. A handful of reviews with slightly lower ratings (in the 4.0-4.5 range) offered minimal specific feedback, with comments like "good" or "nice" without elaboration, though these still reflected positive experiences overall. No significant patterns of complaints or concerns emerge from the review set.
