Provider Explained Things ClearlyProvider Listened CarefullyProvider Was Easy To UnderstandProvider Knew Medical HistoryProvider Showed RespectProvider Spent Enough TimeRate Your Provider 0-1057 Reviews, 13 Comments6/5/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientFirst thing she said when I got in was that we were going to have to speed things up, I was 5 minutes late because I had never been to this office, nor any doctor in years and was looking to establish a PCP. She didnt seem to really listen to me and tried to wrap things up as soon as possible. After what she thought was the end and trying to wrap things up I mentioned other things that were bothering me that I had listed (that she must not have read) and told me I didnt mention them. In and out in about 15-20 minutes was told she was ordering me an xray, MRI, PT, and placed and order for a prescription for my pain. I didnt understand what was going on and still (3 weeks later) have no idea about this Xray or MRI. A PT did call me who I am seeing next week.6/4/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientShes awesome5/4/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientI believe we understood one another very well4/11/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientWonderful!
