Patients appreciate
Dr. Soma Johari consistently receives exceptional praise for her attentive listening skills and the time she dedicates to each patient. Reviewers repeatedly emphasize that she never rushes appointments, thoroughly reviews medical records before visits, and ensures patients feel heard and understood. Her bedside manner is described as caring, compassionate, and professional, with many patients noting she treats them like family and creates a comfortable environment for open communication. Patients appreciate her thoroughness in explaining diagnoses, treatment options, and test results in ways that are easy to understand. Many reviewers highlight her ability to collaborate with patients on healthcare decisions, her responsiveness through the patient portal, and her preparation for appointments. Several long-term patients express deep loyalty, with some noting they've been with her for 8-10 years and have recommended family members who are now also her patients.
Patients also share
While the overwhelming majority of reviews are highly positive, a few areas for improvement emerge. One patient noted feeling Dr. Johari is "ALWAYS in a hurry" and expressed concern that rushing might cause her to miss important details, directly contradicting the majority of reviews. Another patient felt that while Dr. Johari can be compassionate, a primary care physician should be able to help with most conditions rather than just a couple things. One reviewer mentioned occasionally feeling the doctor's explanations can come across as condescending when discussing symptoms or treatment options, making them feel uneducated. Additionally, one review mentioned an issue with a front desk staff member being rude, though this was not about Dr. Johari herself.
