My provider was excellent and thoughtful as always. We could have easily spent more time due to the complex nature of my current situation, but we did a good job of getting through the essentials of my needs at that time. Unfortunately, she had not yet received records from an outside specialty clinic regarding imaging and consultation done by a provider that does not use EPIC, so she had not been able to review them prior to my visit. This issue was obviously outside of her control, and I was easily able to bring her up to speed and provided her with paper records at the visit. She was thorough and empathetic at a very difficult time, and I appreciate all that she continues to do for me.

Very good. I had not seen Dr Root in many yrs, but had seen her in the past when she was working with my primary provider.. I felt the care was excellent and possibly better than my last physical. I feel wellness check seem to be too fast, skim over bigger concerns and the provider has too limited time to meet all my concerns. It didn't used to be to be this way. Something has changed with managed care of physical exams.

Dr. Root has been my PCP for more than 25 years. As always, she balanced professional and personal very well. I'm lucky to have her as my doctor. This visit was to clear me for upcoming surgery after congestive heart failure and successful cryo-balloon ablation. I was cleared. This is the second time she has saved me from a potential heart attack.

As usual with most all health care providers, I would like to hear benefits AND RISKS of all options. This provider generally seems a bit rushed, limited time for me. I would appreciate hearing less about her personal life and more time/interest in the nuances of my preferences. I never feel completely understood or listened to.

  Dec 7, 2022
The doctor told me numerous times I looked like a hot mess. Informed her assistant I probably wouldn't give a urine sample as I was so dehydrated. I explained my pain and my concerns for my kidneys as not only do I have a kidney disease I have been a part of a study I am extremely familiar with things that can hurt them. She stated they've always been fine in the past. I felt insulted as currently I'm walking ataxic and forgetting where I am but previously I was good. I was send to a room to pee tho they knew I couldn't and still haven't. No pain meds for the pain I was asked to leave so I paid 40$ to be insulted and treated like I'll be fine. Refused lab work I asked for, refused pain meds. But got told what a hot mess I was and continued with poor bedside manor. I cried myself to sleep in pain and plan to see zoom care today which hopefully they believe in actually doing their job vs just treating someone like your 15minutes is up no more tests goodluck and bye .

As always, Dr. Root seems very interested in my health, both mental and physical. She asks questions and she listens carefully to my answers. She is positive and open about issues I may be having, but she is realistic and open about what I may need to do to feel better or continue with good health. She laughs and is extremely personable, but foremost she is all business regarding my symptoms and issues that need addressing. Absolutely the best overall practitioner I have worked with.
