The clinics are committed to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for all patients.
Had a televisit appointment with Dr.Carroll Phyllis today. It’s great and satisfying each time I meet with her either in person or on the phone. Her listening skills and her ability to meet you where you are mentally and willingness to discuss and come to an agreement on the best course of action is very good for the patient- doctor relationship. I am very satisfied with Brighter Beginning especially because of that.
I liked my new doctor, and she seemed like she knew what she was talking about. I learned some things I didn't know, esp about a possible alternative medication which might be appropriate for me. The staff, for the most part, was friendly. I was surprised at the 'downscale' waiting room, and particularly didn't appreciate having to listen to the TV. I'm used to a more "professional" setting, but if the care is good, that's my priority. Almost got writer's cramp from filling out all the forms! Brought my health record on a thumb drive -- surprised no-one wanted to see it.
I appreciated the teamwork on my behalf, being listened to, and genuine concern for what I have been through as well as what i was going through.If you are looking to change doctors or have a better experience with Healthcare professionals I highly recommend trying their office. I wish I would have found their office sooner.Excellent staff all the way around.
