Patients appreciate
Maria Duarte consistently receives exceptional praise for her listening skills and patient-centered approach to care. Patients repeatedly emphasize that she takes time with them, never rushes appointments, and makes them feel genuinely heard and valued. Her thorough and comprehensive approach is highlighted frequently, with patients noting she reviews charts before appointments, addresses all concerns systematically, and explains medical information in clear, understandable language. She is widely recognized for her caring, compassionate, and professional demeanor, with many patients describing her as kind, personable, and easy to talk to. Patients appreciate her collaborative approach to treatment planning, noting that she includes them in decision-making and respects their input. Her knowledge and competence are consistently praised, with many patients stating she is the best provider they have ever had and actively requesting to see her when their primary care provider is unavailable.
Patients also share
Very few areas for improvement emerge from the reviews. One patient mentioned feeling somewhat rushed and desired more one-on-one contact and conversation about their feelings. Another patient expressed a preference for seeing an MD rather than a nurse practitioner, though they acknowledged Maria Duarte provided helpful care that exceeded their previous experiences. A couple of reviews were brief without detailed feedback, simply noting the provider was "nice" or that there was "no problem," which suggests satisfactory but perhaps less memorable experiences. These concerns represent a very small minority of the overall feedback.
