Seemed to. Have little interest.
-
She was unprepared and wasted my time reading my discharge papers. It was my understanding that doctors are supposed to review discharge papers and other information prior to meeting with you.
-
She was so unprofessional. After waiting an hour, she complained to us that they were so swamped that she didn't get a lunch. That is not my problem at all. Never apologizing for the long wait. I explained what proof of tb test I needed for Benevilla (Adult Day Care Facility). She was not listening to me and just repeated that they didn't give the under the skin and all she could do would be to write a referral for the chest x-ray when it clearly said a Dr note for negativity was acceptable. I just wanted the blood test right then and there. She kept talking and interrupting me. I had to then call the Benevilla and explain it to the facility and they said the blood test with a negative result was all they needed. Then, since I stood my ground, RN Villariz was short and curt with me. My mom said she would NEVER go back to her.
-
It was brief and not what I expected!
-
she was helpful and interested
-
She is very thorough, compassionate and attentive to your concerns and questions.
-
Handled the pre op testing items
-
Spent the majority of time reviewing my meds I had updated in the previsit checkin. Almost no time for a discussion of my chief complaint, a hip problem I have had since February and was noted the last time I saw her. She did order an x ray for me.
-
I need more time with her before I can rate this question.
-
difficult to understand speaking
-
She really goes over my labs and concerns. She is very caring and makes me feel confident she has my best interest at heart.
-
My first visit with her and she was very through.
-
She seemed extremely thorough.
-
Could not understand her. Mumbles.
-
She doesn’t follow thru on meds needing referrals sent to UHC she has patient get ok thru them that they can get it then makes you wait 2 wks on appt to come back then get you prescription and doesn’t send the info in to them or to Walgreens even tho they sent her info to send and say Walgreens never sent and also says that the lady with Optus didn’t send referral stuff whatever it’s called to her from UHC this is day 15 I I don’t see why I have to do her work also I have an earache for 2 weeks asked her to look at it 2 weeks ago she told me to make an appt for that I was up all night in pain , asked again for her to look at it on Fri yesterday did not even look at it hat is her problem
-
Completely compassionate
-
Sometimes it was difficult to understand her comments
-
ALTHOUGH SHE WAS VERY THOROUGH, SHE WAS SOME WHAT DISTRACTED AND DELAYED BY OTHER WORK RESPONSIBILITIES. I DON'T THINK IT FAIR TO PENALIZE HER FOR MANAGEMENT / STAFFING DECISIONS.
-
Very caring takes time to address the concern
-
She's very nice and knowledgeable for a Nurse Practitioner which is all I need right now.
