Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Patients consistently praise Shannon Smothers for her exceptional listening skills, with this being one of the most frequently mentioned strengths across hundreds of reviews. She is widely described as knowledgeable, thorough, and professional, while also maintaining a warm, calm, and approachable demeanor that helps patients feel comfortable and at ease. Reviewers repeatedly highlight that Shannon never makes them feel rushed, takes time to answer all questions, and actively involves patients in their own healthcare decisions. Her strong bedside manner, ability to explain medical information clearly, and responsiveness through the patient portal are also frequently commended. Many patients have been seeing her for years — some for over a decade — and enthusiastically recommend her to friends and family.

Patients also share

The reviews contain very few criticisms. Two separate reviewers noted that Shannon can be soft-spoken and tends to mumble, making it difficult to hear her clearly at times, with one of those reviewers also noting she could make more direct eye contact rather than looking down at her notes. One reviewer suggested she could ask more questions to better learn about a patient's health background. These are minor and isolated observations in an otherwise overwhelmingly positive collection of feedback.
