| 5.0 | Mar 2, 2025 | Visit went well, all data WNL | |
| 4.7 | Mar 1, 2025 | I'm very happy with Dr. Duran as my Nephrologist specialist. The one thing that I can count on is her doing her patient homework prior to seeing me. I can also count on her remembering what I told her about my symptoms as evidenced by her after visit summaries. Accurate after visit summarizes are crucial because they're possibly viewed by other doctors and insurance companies who regard the summary's as the true nature of what's going on with the patient. Inaccurate after visit summaries can lead to distrust of doctors, loss of confidence in the medical process and erroneous information being copied and pasted to other specialists records and other doctors assuming that you either do, or don't, have a problem based on erroneous documentation. It's my pet peeve, but not one that I have to be too concerned about with Dr. Duran. She's one of a few, that I trust that she's going to do the right thing on my behalf. The cherry on top of the cake is that she's vrry professional, with a soft, kind and gentle spirit. The only thing that could be improved is the common thread of just about every specialist that I have, may not be aware that the powers that be that are put in place to help doctors document the aftervisit summarys documenting symptoms that I don't have into my records and not correctly documenting symptoms that I do have. An example of that is ( I have debilitating fatigue, urinary frequency, urgency, cold intolerance, a chronic cough, dysnea and chest tightness upon moderate, not mild exertion, althragia- left shoulder l, frequent parietal and occipital headaches, bladder and fecal incontinence, and occasional hematuria when a first morning urine sample is given). To prevent those that assist with the Dr's after visits summary, it would be helpful if the patient was asked a list of these questions prior to documenting. This would assure consistency and accuracy across the board in all records. Ordinarily, I would omitt listing symptoms, but this needed to be said in the hopes that other doctors can understand the frustrations that patients are having to deal with and to prevent future medical problems and the the lack of associated amongst patients and medical staff. | |
