Patients also share

While the vast majority of reviews are highly positive, a small number of patients identified areas for improvement. A few patients mentioned occasionally feeling rushed during appointments, though this was not a consistent complaint. One patient expressed concern that their specific health concerns were not adequately addressed outside of standard annual checkup protocols, describing responses as "cut and paste" rather than personalized. Another patient felt that Dr. Strength deferred certain issues to specialists rather than addressing them as a primary care physician, leaving the patient feeling they were "on their own" regarding care coordination between providers. One review noted that an annual exam was "not the most thorough" they had experienced, and there was one mention of a negative experience with a nurse, though not with Dr. Strength himself.
