I had an earnest conversation with Dr. Ponte about the drugs I am on and how I should be careful not to over use them.
All is well
There's nothing to change. She was very easy to speak with and covered all the information necessary
They always provide the best quality care for me as a patient. Thank you. I am very grateful to all the staff.
Please continue doing this. Thank you.
P.Ponte is the absolute best. What a wonderful person. We need more people like this in the world.
Everything was well done and to the point.
We talked about arthritis, which is one of the symptoms I have, and everything was explained clearly.
Always checked up on me to see how things were going with me
Very well and thank you for sharing your thoughts and God bless you and your family Amen.
She is great
I've never really had a bad experience here. It was a little hard when the staff changed but after my last in person visit I definitely felt as if they listened and learned and although I was extremely stressed when I went in I left there actually left feeling a little bit better!
The telehealth conference went very well. My questions were asked, were answered, and we spoke at some length about my back, obviously, and about my medication needs, and that's it. So.
My provider was attentive to my concerns and quite familiar with my file and health. NP made interesting recommendations on how I might seek pain relief. Best NP I've had the pleasure of being treated by both in Southcoast and every other provider.
Things didn't start off great with this provider when I first saw her.. now things are better.. she listens, is caring and understanding!
This provider spent quality time with me listening to my update since last visit. She was kind, and understanding.
Priscilla Ponte is absolutely brilliant and kind!I will continue to see Priscilla as my provider!
Everything is good as it is !!!
Please continue to care for patients as you did for me, thank you.
It gets a little better each visit.
Let's see, how do I put this? Very, very considerate. Seemed to want to know how to diagnose my pain, but it's kind of hard if people don't have pain to tell them what's wrong because they hear so many stories from other people. But she helped me the most she could. Priscilla is a very, very considerate person. And that's what I have to say. So have a wonderful day.
You don't have to do anything. Priscilla Ponte was awesome and very caring for me.
Every thing was just great while there is always room for improvement " there is always room for improvement" but by what I have seen it would be great just by leaving it alone.
Priscilla Ponteu00A0is the type of provider we need more of in the medical field. She is kind, listens closely, is not judgmental, tries to understand from patience point of view. I sought her out specifically to get her opinion on several matters relating to my treatment for chronic pain from a traumatic accident (spinal cord injury).
Priscilla listened Compressive exam
Everything was fine.I didnt have to wait long and the girls were very good. I had a goos experience this time.
Priscilla Ponte was very helpful, very specific, asked me the appropriate questions and listened to my responses, listened to my questions.
I have not been feeling well. And when I called Priscilla, she agreed to let me have a telehealth appointment rather than go into the office. I was very appreciative of that. She's very kind and very knowledgeable.
I saw the nurse practitioner she is the absolute best as well as the rest of the staff. I know without a doubt that I will be in great hands every time I go there.
My provider really listened to me and provided me with recommendationss to help me regarding my pain!
Everything was the best, thank you for your great service.
Hello I am happy about the visit and the good care ever time I go there Amen.
I was asked conflicting and unusual questions from the medical assistant who then acted offended, rolled her eyes and made silly faces when I told her I was unable to answer the questions the way she asked them. She lacked the knowledge and professionalism needed to do her job. The provider on the other hand was knowledgeable and accommodating to the best of her ability.
Both the initial contact person once in the patient room and the medical provider were personable, caring and professional. Their good humor and demeanor were in stark contrast to their predecessors
They were good and caring
