I don't have any complaints. The Dr. or Nurse practitioner always listens to me, and explains what I need to know.
This was a ER f/u appt. First time with S Houlihan. Extremely grateful for the switch to telehealth. Shannon was very thorough and although she had never met my daughter before, she understood her plight and ordered appropriate blood work. Very good experience.
The nurse was very attentive , professional,
My first visit. Very helpful, listened and answered all my questions. Actually took time for me. Love this. Great experience
Keep up the good work, very attentive and above all, very responsible with the patient. Thank you.
Friendly and courteous staff. Made me feel at ease.
I was able to get an appointment quickly with a fast diagnosis so that I knew whether a certain procedure could be performed in a couple of days or whether it had to be cancelled. Quick diagnosis also resulted in a reduction of pain as a result of the medication.
Dr. Shannon was great and informative

I had a wonderful experience, I am always nervous meeting a new doctor/NP I'd rather the latter, but everyone was absolutely great from the lady at the front desk to the nurse, to the NP. I'd absolutely recommend this office to anyone I know, what a great experience, I even came early and got in an hour early which saved me an hour of waiting in the waiting room. Thank you very much.
She explained everything to me. I do like my new provider. She made me understand everything there was and listened to everything I had to say. I'm very pleased with my visit yesterday.
Everyone friendly and attentive. Doctor Houlihan a great physician. Highly recommend.
It is refreshing to have a health care professional who conducts manual tests and is thoroughly concerned with the patient. I'm very happy and pleased that I do have Shannon Houlihan as my PCP. Thank you.
I had my first visit with Shannon today and she was amazing! I felt well cared for and despite meeting her for the first time, she was extremely knowledge regarding my medical history as I had recently been sick. So happy to have her as my new PCP!
i was asked questions that other doctors in the past didn't ask!

Every employee was kind and curitious, it was my first time at Trusdale and didn't know where to go and everyone i asked was very friendly and helpful.
First visitPeople listened to me, asked questions needed and seemed to care. I have some specific issues/ needs and each was addressed in a manner that had me leaving assured I am on the right path. I hope to do a follow up survey when issues are seen.Hope to come back here as needed with all involved Thank you!
"if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
The one improvement would be to make even more use of the electronic forms. I believe I accepted treatment online but had to sign it again on paper. That might be required, but it seemed duplicative. No big deal though. It was a good experience!
This was the best experience I've had with a pcp. I booked my son with her, I feel so confident that this is a wonderful office..
Everything was done well. Very friendly,professional staff. I have no complaints.
New patient visit. Shannon and staff were professional, thorough and most importantly caring. I didn't feel like just another patient.
I'm very pleased and happy with this doctor!
My appointment was for an injury where I felt I needed a antibiotic. And when I had the visit with the provider she saw the spot on my leg and she definitely said I needed an antibiotic so she called it in to my pharmacy
