She is very good with you and takes her time

She was very thorough and professional and spent adequate time discussing my health concerns.

Hard to understand. I went in specifically for a referral to get on zepbound because I have sleep apnea but she prescribed me blood pressure medication because of one high reading that was inaccurate and I told her I never have high blood pressure
-
Very comfortable with her. Seems Very thorough. Liked how it went.
-
Very detailed and didn't rush me.
-
Dr. Breena read my chart before she walk into the room to see me for the first time. That was very impressie. She listen to why I was seeing her and took her time during my visit.
-
She is a great provider! Listens to me, never felt rushed. I absolutely love her!
-
Very thorough and explained everything- very caring
-
Kind. Discuss medical plan that is best for you and why. Answers all questions and uses easy to understand explanations. Answers the question what does that mean and what is your suggestion and other options. Makes you feel comfortable.
-
She actually sat down and listened to what I had to say and helped me figure out what to do next. So many providers do not take the time to listen to- she did. I appreciate it.
-
I don’t believe she properly examined me at all. Even if my symptoms were out of the range of what they could treat she offered no recommendations on what direction to go in. She was extremely condescending and didn’t listen to me. She made me feel like I was being overly dramatic about my symptoms and said I had allergies even though I didn’t say those were the symptoms I was concerned about. She sent me away with 3 prescriptions I did not need. I was hospitalized the next day for 9 days and was told if I had taken the prescriptions she had provided to me that could have interfered with my care and treatment and the hospital.
-
She listens and explains issues
-
She’s very professional and personable. You can tell she truly cares about her patients.
-
She was thorough and personable. She knew how sick I was feeling and was able to prescribe me meds and get out of the office quickly.
-
She is very thorough. Office not so much. Sometimes 10 days to get results and still waiting on a prescription for 10 days
-
Very professional and and knowledgeable
-
Beena is very attentive and listens to I'd say every word a patient says. Notes tell all LOL but no, truthfully I love her and feel very comfortable being open and totally forth coming with Beena. As long as she stays in Arizona I will follow her. As a senior I have lost a lot of my doctors and or through clinic changes, so NO I would not be a happy camper if I could not see her.
-
Very friendly
-
She is NOT a doctor as is required in the office as required by law. I place the criticism for this not with zBeena, but with Optum for driving physicians from the practice. This in a pattern of practice for several years.
