Patients also share

The opportunities for improvement noted in the reviews are minimal and infrequent. Two separate reviewers mentioned that Shannon can be soft-spoken or tends to mumble, making it difficult to hear her clearly at times, particularly for patients with hearing difficulties. One reviewer suggested she could make more direct eye contact rather than looking down at her notes during appointments.
