First of all, it was done very quickly, so it didn't waste a lot of my time, so I was pleased with that. And I had an excellent person who gave me the inoculation. She asked me a lot of questions about my health and wanted to make sure I was okay. She was very pleasant, while at the same time knew what she was talking about, so I was very pleased.
Fatima is an exceptional provider with excellent professional expertise. She is a caring and thoughtful practitioner who listens and asks pertinent questions addressing any concerns. I feel lucky to have found her for my care.
Fatima carefully listened to me and put me at ease. She was patient and kind. She also followed through by contacting me as soon as my results were available and encouraged me to contact her if I was not feeling better.
I called for an emergency visit and was able to get an appointment the same day. X-rays were ordered, results obtained and recd an immediate phone call from provider. Office staff are kind, professional and efficient.
I've been a patient for almost 30 years and have never had a problem, best office!! Everyone is absolutely amazing! From check in to check out! All providers as well especially Fatima, she's a sweet, kind hearted, caring and understanding person who goes above and beyond! Thank you! So grateful for all of you!!
I find that Fatima has a terrific grasp on what is going on in my life as far as my health is concerned, that she's on top of everything and she has solutions, solutions that I can do. And she's always great in contacting me if anything changes that she wants, that she wants changed. I'm just thrilled with having her as my primary care.
First of all she was right on time. Went over all my lab work and explained everything to me. She listened to my concerns and addressed them with me.
On time. questions answered that I had.
Fatima is THE BEST!!
Use Fatima Medeiros as the template for what a PCP should be. She's excellent.
Fatima is a very, very good professional as well as a wonderful person who can relate to the patient and explains things thoroughly, was right up to date on my health care, is very concerning. Anything that I had, she was just very concerned and gave me information about what was going on for me. So she's very thorough, went over all of the blood work that I had done and explained things to me. So I can't recommend her highly enough. She is just a great, great credit to her profession.
I was the new patient with Fatima today. I found her extremely thorough. She covered everything that I wanted her to without my even asking. I was very impressed with the visit.
Everything was awesome, I would definitely refer anyone to this office, between the staff and the doctor I received excellent service, I have great confidence in them for the care of my needs by them all, very thankful for this office
Fatima is exceptional. She listens, sets up appointments that are needed and is through.
Dr. Medeiros was a breath of fresh air after my last provider in this office. She was attentive, kind, caring, knowledgeable, and proactive about helping me with my concerns and goals.
Fatima was very interested in my care from other Providers.
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.
1st time meeting this provider. Everything went well .on time questions answered plan of care explained.
