Shannon was absolutely wonderful. She was knowledgeable and listened to my concerns!
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.

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.
