Patient review summary

2.50
Patients generally found the doctor to be knowledgeable and thorough in treatment, but some felt a lack of personal connection, citing a detached demeanor. While the office experience and initial consultation were satisfactory for most, issues with follow-up care, such as long wait times for appointments and difficulties with prescription management, led to frustration. Communication and responsiveness from the office were noted as areas needing improvement. The above is a summary of provider feedback collected from external public sources.
