Patient Comments

My NP Susan Guffey is patient, listens to my concerns and consults with me regarding options.

Sep 30, 2024

Very good

Sep 29, 2024

It probably doesn't matter now with the way health care system has gone, but I will respond. [...] it wasn't a soft delivery of 3 shocking health issues. I know the reality in health care now is no time for sweet compassionate delivery to patient. It's about keeping the appointment to 20minutes. [...]

I was nervous when my PCP of 15+ years retired (Dr Terwilliger) as I felt comfortable with her care - I have anxiety around medical appts and procedures. This was my first appt (an annual physical) with NP Susan Guffey and she eased that anxiety. She is straight forward and through but still while being compassionate and kind. She is clearly knowledgeable and thoroughly addressed all my medical concerns. These are the qualities I look for in a PCP and I am glad she is mine.
