Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Dr. Shannon Alejandro receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, with the vast majority of reviews awarding 5-star ratings. Patients consistently praise her knowledge and expertise, particularly in foot and ankle care, along with her thorough and clear explanations of diagnoses, treatment options, and procedures. Many reviewers highlight her attentive listening skills and patience, noting that she takes time during appointments to address questions and concerns without rushing. Her bedside manner is frequently described as caring, kind, and compassionate, and several patients specifically commend her surgical skills and post-operative care, with some crediting her with significant improvements to their quality of life. The office staff and overall practice efficiency, including punctuality and ease of scheduling, are also mentioned favorably in numerous reviews.

Patients also share

While the vast majority of feedback is positive, a small number of reviews point to areas for improvement. One reviewer felt that a 15-minute appointment was not worth the cost for a specialist visit, suggesting a desire for more time during visits. Another patient mentioned a longer-than-expected wait time, though they noted the doctor was "worth waiting for." A few reviews were brief or neutral, simply stating it was a first visit with not enough experience yet to form a strong opinion, rather than indicating dissatisfaction.

Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
