Across hundreds of reviews, patients repeatedly emphasize that she genuinely listens to their concerns, asks thoughtful follow-up questions, and makes them feel heard and valued.

Many reviewers describe her as knowledgeable, thorough, and well-prepared, appreciating that she explains medical information clearly and ensures patients understand their treatment options.

Patients also share

The reviews reveal very few areas for improvement, with the vast majority being overwhelmingly positive. One patient mentioned finding it odd that they hadn't seen their doctor in quite some time, suggesting some patients may prefer to see a physician rather than a PA for certain visits. A small number of reviews offered minimal feedback or were brief without detailed commentary. However, these represent a tiny fraction of the overall feedback, and no consistent patterns of concern or complaint emerge across the review set.

Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
