Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Deidra Westby, FNP consistently earns high praise for her exceptional listening skills and genuine compassion. Patients frequently highlight that she takes the time to truly hear their concerns rather than rushing through appointments, and many note feeling like a valued individual rather than just another patient. Her warm, personable demeanor is a recurring theme, with reviewers describing her as kind, patient, and easy to talk to. She is also widely commended for being thorough and knowledgeable — explaining diagnoses, treatment options, and procedures clearly and in detail. Several patients noted that she goes above and beyond, such as providing medication samples, helping coordinate additional care, and remembering personal details between visits. Her ability to put anxious patients at ease, particularly those with nervousness around women's health visits, is mentioned by multiple reviewers as a standout quality.

Patients also share

The constructive feedback across the reviews is minimal and largely isolated. One reviewer felt her bedside manner seemed forced and that she was somewhat dismissive and not fully attentive to their concerns, while another noted she appeared to be in a hurry during their visit. A single reviewer mentioned she referenced them having children when they do not, suggesting an opportunity to review patient charts more carefully before appointments. One patient also noted a longer-than-expected wait time, and another had a negative experience with a staff member on the day of their visit, though they noted Deidra herself was fine.
