"reviewSummary":"The reviews highlighted several positive points about the healthcare provider. Patients felt the doctor was professional, caring, a good listener, and took time to understand their concerns. Multiple patients were very happy with their treatment and grateful for the care they received. However, one patient had an unsatisfactory experience feeling the doctor seemed annoyed, rushed, and uncaring about their condition. This highlights an opportunity for the provider to improve patient interactions by showing more empathy, fully listening to patient concerns, and taking whatever time is needed, regardless of schedule constraints. Additionally, the cost of prescriptions should be considered to provide affordable treatment options. Overall most patients reported very positive experiences feeling heard, understood, and effectively treated. But the one negative review shows room for improving patient interactions and affordability of care. Addressing those factors could help create consistently positive experiences for all patients.",
