Patients also share

The opportunities for improvement noted in the reviews are minimal and mentioned by only a small number of patients. One reviewer noted that Shannon tends to mumble and doesn't make enough direct eye contact, which made communication slightly difficult. Another reviewer mentioned that she could ask more questions to learn about the patient's health background. These are isolated observations and do not represent a pattern across the broader set of reviews.
