What patients say
Patients praise
- High provider ratings on Vitals for primary care clinicians (e.g., 4.7 and 4.8/4.9 shown)
- Patients praise communication, listening, and kind/caring demeanor (for Dr. Jessica Pennington)
- U.S. News lists strong patient-experience indicators (e.g., patients recommend/listens attentively/clearly explains)
Common complaints
- Limited/unclear review volume for the specific practice page ("Be first to leave a review"), making complaint patterns hard to confirm for the exact clinic
- Complaints present for related St. Joseph/Berea care experiences (e.g., ER/hospital complaints about waiting, staff professionalism, and pain management); these may not be specific to Primary Care clinic visits
- One dataset includes extremely negative feedback (e.g., 'Is there any way to give 0 stars?' and long waits), but it appears to refer to hospital/ER rather than the primary care practice specifically
