Feedback Spring 2024

• Very happy with Dr. Slater and the whole staff. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart!
• I am 73 years old and have been to many doctors offices in my life. I can honestly say that the doctors, nurses, and office staff are the best I have ever seen. These people are all at the top of their game. I can assure you that I would not be alive if it was not for them.
• Dr. Slater was very patient and explained everything thoroughly, in a very understandable, layman’s terms, manner. He had a great “bedside manner.”
• The nurse who took my was very nice.
• Just had my 1st visit with Dr. Kapur and I cannot be more pleased. He went over all of my labs with me, took the time to answer any questions I had. Let me know what the game plans are and what to expect. Excellent experience and so glad I switched to this practice. The staff was super nice, very professional, and welcoming. Just wished I changed to this practice years ago.

• My clinician was upbeat, pleasant, concerned with my well-being and clear about my bloodwork results. Great visit.
• My sister was under treatment at ECHO for nine years and I have been under treatment for four years. This clinic and staff are the best. Thank all the staff for their efforts!
• The provider who took my blood for testing is one of the nicest people I know. She takes my blood pressure, weight, etc. and makes sure that the list of meds that I take are up-to-date. She is kind and always asks how I’m doing and goes out of her way to make me feel comfortable. A super person!
• I’m always treated kindly by everyone there and have never experienced a problem with anyone.
• Dr. Yang could have looked at my chart and said ‘she probably does not have cancer’ and do the bare minimum to meet me. Instead, she researched my complex medical history, was prepared with questions, and had a plan even though she was fairly certain that I will not be a cancer patient anytime soon. She is professional, educated, kind, and able to talk to me like “normal” human. Some specialist/doctors really struggle with communication, Dr. Yang does not have that problem. 
• I didn’t know exactly why I had been referred, but I did Google some possibilities. Needless to say, I freaked myself out. Dr. Yang clarified everything. I have a complicated medical history and she did her research on everything before we met. Regardless of what the next round of tests reveal, I’m confident Dr. Yang will handle everything. I even told a friend that I wish she was my primary care.
• Allison was my provider and was very professional and knowledgeable.
• I was able to have procedures scheduled in a very short time frame.
• I always enjoy interacting with Sheena, Laurie, Angelina, and Annie. They always have good spirits, which is contagious. They treat me like a friend, as opposed to just being a patient. I love my relationship with them. They give their patients and each other total respect. Dr. Dhami, and Dr. Daggett are also very personable. They listen to my concerns. 
• Everyone in the office was so very nice and it made me feel very comfortable and my waiting time in the waiting room wasn’t long at all. Very happy.
• Dr. Yang is the best doctor I have ever had!
• Shout out to Nurse Kristen and APRN Katelyn!
• I always enjoy spending time with Kristen and Raphie too. They both make me feel comfortable and look after me.
• Professional and friendly staff. Service is always provided in a timely manner.
• My Doctor takes my concerns seriously, and follows up if anything is bothering me.
• Dr. Kapur spent a great deal of time going over my previous visits with my other doctors. He explained in detail how we were going to proceed. I spent well over 30 minutes with him.
• I really appreciate the thoroughness of the doctor and staff. They listen and help me at every step of the visit. I feel like they really care about my health and treat me like a family member.
• Dr. Nick provided in depth explanations of where I am in my treatment and the effectiveness of the plan he has developed for me. 
• Dr Johnson makes having to be in the office a positive experience every time. She is the absolute best!
• Nicole, my APRN, spent additional time with me, as she did in December, when I was hospitalized. I appreciate her concern. I also thought, the Nutritionist, followed through well with giving me printed information for my diet.  
• After 11 years with this group, I have gone through doctors, medical assistants, nurses, etc. Only now do I feel optimistic about my future, living the best life I can, all because of the expertise of ECHO.
• Everyone is pleasant, welcoming and helpful. I always know what to expect and the wait times are very reasonable. I’m made to feel that they care about my well-being and try to answer all my questions or seek answers for my next visit. I feel comfortable under their care, and I feel I can trust their judgement on my treatment.
• My doctor was upbeat and optimistic that my deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is gone. Checkout staff was overjoyed and celebrated my not needing another appointment. They celebrated my victory that I’m now DVT free – as if I were a family member. Every staff member was delightful. I just left feeling so great. 
• Ali really cares about her patients, she listens, and is knowledgeable, warm, kind and friendly.
• Laurie, Dr. Dhami’s medical assistant, always goes above and beyond and remains efficient in all areas.
• Always friendly, my concerns are heard, and my plan of care is reviewed. Excellent care!
• I have been a patient for many years with ECHO and always have been highly satisfied with my care. This practice is obviously very busy with many staff members and no matter when or what the circumstances may be, they are professional, cheerful, and encouraging to ease any stress or concerns you’re experiencing. My questions are always addressed and often even before I ask them!! I feel very well treated in every aspect, love my doctor, and feel very comfortable and confident in their care.

I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful group that has helped me through this difficult journey.

Patient who was in front of me needed help with the walker she was using to get to the seating area and the person behind the desk said I will be right back to check you in after I help her to her seat. All patients are made to feel that they matter, and I find that to be healing to all. Another office worker came right to the window and said I can help you check-in. Waiting for my appointment anyone who walked by smiled said good day. You always feel welcomed when you go there. At the end of my visit, I explained I was having trouble getting into the website and the administrative assistant gave me her direct number for me to call me anytime for help. It’s always a positive experience when I go to ECHO. And I believe that Dr. Vanessa Johnson is one of the driving forces behind that positive experience.
