I felt that the physician and care partner were rushed. Although my exam was completed and comfortable enough I did not feel heard nor were my expectations met. I had previously made a second appointment to address additional health concerns other than my annual physical. I was told I couldn’t have back to back appointments but my doctor would address my concerns during the visit. That was not done. I am disappointed with my visit.

Dr Sumina has been my Primary Dr for over 10 years. Since I moved here from Michigan to take care of my Mom, 24/7. She remembers my Mom fondly as she took care of my Mom as well. Dr Sumina’s approach to my health is to provide me with information so I can make the best decisions about my on-going healthcare. She encourages me to be “active” so I can keep my bones strong and my muscles toned. She asks me about my balance and mental acuity because of my age; 76 years old. We discuss how to stay healthy by eating a balanced, nutritious meals/snacks. To stay hydrated. She always answers my questions . Dr Sumina reviewed my medical chart and made me aware of vaccinations I might consider having. I had already requested a COVID vaccination for this visit. We discussed me having a Mammogram, a Bone density tests and seeing a Dermatologist for possible suspect spot on my arm. I’m also making an appointment to see an Audiologist. Dr Sumina helps me to be as healthy as I can be. It’s up to me to do ALL that I can to be healthy . I am always confident of my health care with Dr Sumina.
