How appointments are scheduled. The professionalism, and knowledge of the staff, the techs, as well as the nurses, PAs and doctors. For the last few years, when a specialist is needed, I have been choosing Strong providers. I am very happy to now have my primary care through Strong as well.

Karen always goes above and beyond what other providers seem to offer. In this case she gave me some information about how to treat the problem but more importantly she got me into see the specialist that I needed within 48 hours rather than waiting almost 3 months. this is a phenomenal service and she always comes through doing things like that to make treatment happen sooner. She does little things that make a difference that doctors generally seem too busy to offer. I cannot say enough good things about Karen.

My primary care MD retired and her patients were taken over by an NP. As far as my annual check went, the NP was excellent - as good as, or better than my MD. I am uncertain whether not having an MD as my primary physician will have any negative effect on me in the future. For now I don't have any major issues so we will see how it goes.

I brought up a concern I had and not once did she ask why I was concerned. Instead, she listed off reasons, very condescendingly, about what I am doing wrong and what I could do better not even asking if I was already doing those things. She continued on even after I shut down and didn't want to speak to her anymore. I felt unheard and humiliated. I was even more depressed and defeated leaving than when I went in because this was a genuine concern I have. There was no warmth in her. I have never seen her before and will never see her again. I refuse to share my medical records with her.

Karen O'Shea dumbed down real concerns for my health. She was rude, not understanding and didn't listen to me. The experience was no good and I'm still having the health problems I can in to see about. Also my real doctor never has any open appointments to see me. I don't want to continue coming to this practice since the experience was horrible. I went in talking about mental health issues and O'Shea made me feel more depressed by the time I left. This happened because she talked down to me and really didn't understand or connect with anything I had to say. And also she showed no empathy.

Jan 19, 2023

I was sent to PCP office by Psych NP due to severe brain fog. I had an appointment last Monday. When I described it to provider she literally said "what would you like me to do about it", I said my Psych NP recommended I see them and get blood work. She ordered labs. Yesterday, I had stroke symptoms when I was out of town by myself and had to have an MRI at a hospital in [...] after "failing" the neuro test at the urgent care . The records were sent. A stroke ruled out but there is an issue that I was told I have to see a neurologist for now.

My provider is very kind in nature; however, she dismissed a lot of my concerns. I walked away without resolving the issue I was concerned about, and I dread the thought of returning to continue to see if I can be treated. It felt like she just wanted to give a diagnosis and get me out the door. I understand things have been overwhelming in healthcare, but I believe this aspect of patient care could be better.
