Mar 29, 2024
Dr. Stopa visit notes were difficult to understand because she used professional medical terms and abbreviations. I understand that these notes are probably used for communication with other health care providers, but considering that they are published in MyChart and can be read by her patients, it may be wise to make them easier to understand by people with non-medical expertise.
