Patients also share
Very few areas for improvement emerge from these reviews. One patient mentioned confusion about scheduling a follow-up appointment when the doctor was going on vacation, requiring the appointment to be moved from four to six weeks. Another patient noted that despite being new to the clinic, no written literature or documentation was provided to review treatment options at home, though they still rated the overall experience highly. One review mentioned the provider did not have the best bedside manner, though this was an isolated comment among overwhelmingly positive feedback. These concerns are minimal and infrequent compared to the volume of positive reviews.
