Patients also share

Opportunities for improvement are minimal given the overwhelmingly positive feedback, but a small number of reviews noted communication style concerns. Two separate reviewers mentioned that Shannon can be soft-spoken or tends to mumble, making it difficult to hear her clearly at times, and one of those reviewers also noted she could improve eye contact during appointments. These were isolated observations and did not reflect a broader pattern in the reviews.
