Patients appreciate
Anita Thapa, FNP receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise her for being thorough, knowledgeable, and an excellent listener. Patients frequently mention that she takes her time during appointments, never making them feel rushed, and demonstrates genuine care and concern for their well-being. Her ability to explain complex health issues in clear, understandable terms is repeatedly highlighted, with many patients appreciating how she answers all their questions patiently and comprehensively. Reviewers consistently describe her as friendly, personable, professional, and caring, noting that she engages in meaningful conversations and makes patients feel heard and comfortable. Her thoroughness in examinations, attention to detail, and expertise—particularly in managing diabetes and related conditions—are frequently commended.
Patients also share
The most significant criticism comes from one detailed review where a patient felt Ms. Thapa was too focused on the computer screen rather than engaging directly with them, and that she didn't adequately address specific questions about managing high phosphorus levels and understanding physical symptoms of kidney stress. This patient also felt she was initially hesitant to order a needed bone density test. A few other minor concerns include one comment about her speaking too quickly or quietly, another suggesting her personal appearance seemed unprofessional, and one patient who felt she wasn't fully tuned in to their concerns. One reviewer also noted some uncertainty about her knowledge, though this was an isolated comment.
