Patients appreciate
Maria Duarte receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise her exceptional listening skills and communication abilities. Patients repeatedly describe her as thorough, knowledgeable, and professional, noting that she takes time to explain medical conditions and treatment plans in clear, understandable language. Her caring and compassionate demeanor stands out prominently, with patients feeling genuinely heard and valued rather than rushed. Many reviewers emphasize her excellent bedside manner, describing her as kind, friendly, personable, and easy to talk to. Patients appreciate that she reviews their charts before appointments, asks thoughtful questions, involves them in treatment decisions, and addresses all their concerns comprehensively. Her ability to make patients feel comfortable and respected is frequently mentioned, with many stating she is the best provider they have ever had.
Patients also share
While the vast majority of reviews are highly positive, a small number of patients identified minor areas for improvement. A few reviewers felt their visits were somewhat rushed or that they could have benefited from more one-on-one contact and conversation time. One patient expressed a preference for seeing an MD rather than a nurse practitioner, though they acknowledged Maria provided helpful care. These concerns appear infrequent and are significantly outweighed by positive feedback, but they suggest occasional opportunities to ensure adequate time is allocated for patient interactions.
