Excellent meeting

One comment! I answered No to all questions involving nurses. That is because there were no nurses involved. After I was seated in the examining room, the only person I saw was Dr. Absher.

I don't think there is anything you could do to improve the trust or show more respect. I received excellent care from Dr. Absher and his nurse. Absher took the time to listen carefully to my concerns about my medical; I felt like I had a an opportunity to participate in my health plan care. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback.

I waited a little to see the doctor, however it's understandable, I am use to that.

No changes are required. Dr Absher listens, anticipates our questions usually before we can asks I never feel rushed. We could never as for more from a provider.

Explain exactly how to understand what each Rx.that is prescribed for and explain why I need it...Dr.Absher will be my Dr. and I'm sure will explain why certain Rx have been prescribed...

I've always had a positive experience there... can't think of anything that would make it better!!!

We are completely pleased with Dr Absher and his NP Lesley Hudson. They are very professional, knowledgeable, listen very carefully and NEVER seem to be in a hurry to leave. And of course explain options for treatment. Best in class. Unfortunately there seems to be a shortage of neurologists in the area. Not that we would want anyone else to treat us, but it just takes far too long to get an appointment. Perhaps Prisma needs to find a way to bring additional neurologists to the area.

I could talk to my Dr one on one
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/27/2025
We were impressed by the thoroughness of the exam and treated with compassion and understanding every step of the way.

The nursing assistant who roomed me literally said nothing to me. She took my vital signs, asked me appropriate questions, but was very curt. This is not normally how prisma folks treat me. I was somewhat taken aback.

Fantastic physician and his team. Took all the time we needed to explain the issues and to come up with solutions. I would recommend Dr. Absher to everyone.

Eplain the purpose of prescribed medication. Is it addictive? Will it cause sleep or interact with another medicine or food like coffee? Will I receive a reply from this response?
