The medical exam Dr. Shen gave me was very thorough. She gave me excellent advice regarding how I could improve my health care. She went through my blood analysis in detail and explained where there were shortcomings and how I could improve. She was quick to compliment me when I was doing well and offered tips for improvement when I was not,The scribe was very efficient and worked hard at recording all Important things that took place during the exam. She was good at keeping a low profile and I was rarely distracted by her during the exam.The PA who escorted me to the exam room, took my vitals, and asked me health risk assessment questions was very methodical, efficient, and easy to interact with. She was friendly and put me at my ease.The PA who prepared my After Visit Summary did an excellent job making a permanent record of what transpired during the medical exam and presented information that I could use to improve my health. I appreciate the fact that she created the After Visit Summary very quickly so I could take it with me when I left.
