Dr Fatima makes a doctor visit a little enjoyable.
Fatima is the absolute best!! She listens to you and is very caring and extremely knowledgeable. I am so very blessed to have Fatima as my new PCP.
My 1st office visit with Fatima Mederios as my primary. She listened thoroughly to any questions and offered supportive ideas and solutions. She had read thru my history b4 the appt and was familiarized with my history. That should to be She takes the responsibility of being my primary seriously. She gave me clear instruction that if I needed any help b4 my next 6 mo appt, to please email her thru my chart. I felt very happy with my decision to choose Fatima to help replace my much loved, Dr [Name] who retired.
Exceptional experience everyone was super nice . Fatima Medeiros is a very thorough, compassionate provider . I feel confident having her for my care after seeing [Name] [Name] for many years …
I was devastated when [Name] retired. That being said I was THRILLED when I found out Fatima would be my primary. In all my years at that practice I always received fantastic proactive and compassionate care from her. As long as the office commicares well I know all is good.
Bring Dr.Theroux back!!!
First of all, I saw Fatima almost immediately. She knew my background very well. She went over all my test scores from the laboratory and gave me some good advice about good health. So I was very pleased with her, and I'm thrilled that she's my provider.
Fatima the NP is very very good at her job
It was my first appointment seeing Fatima since Dr [Name] left. I wasn't sure what to expect, however Fatima set my nerves at ease. Dr [Name] was an excellent Dr. however, her personality left something to be desired. Whenever I had a Doctor's appointment I would stress out because of her seriousness..This change is for the better for me. As I said, Dr [Name] was a very good Dr., just not for me. Fatima is so pleasant and so friendly. Much better! Maybe now I won't be troubled with "white coat syndrome".u00A0
I was greeted as soon as I walked in by the young man at the front desk. His name was [Name] I think. He was pleasant, friendly, attentive, made me feel comfortable right away. And my practitioner, Fatima Medeiros, was her usual. She's always been this way. Caring, kind, attentive, and concerned self. And she knows her stuff, and she knows me very well. And I don't remember my nurse's name, but she also did a good job. Thank you.
I specifically asked to have Fatima examine me after my recent hospitalization. With [Name]. [Name] no longer in this association, there is no one I trust more than her to know my background and to treat me skillfully and with compassion.
