Patients also share
The reviews contain very few criticisms or areas for improvement. One patient mentioned that a nurse who roomed them was "rather grumpy, unclear in his questions, and made me nervous," though this feedback was directed at support staff rather than Kristen Northern herself. A couple of reviews were brief or indicated it was a first visit where the patient was still forming an opinion, with one stating "It was my first visit. Time will tell." Overall, there are virtually no substantive complaints about Kristen Northern's care, communication, or clinical skills across the extensive collection of reviews.
