I have no problem with Dr. Zhu, just the idea of getting to see her or any Doctor through UVM.
All went well. There does not seem to be any relief this time I am hoping there is some other procedure. Or advice for medications?
She always makes me feel special and she had me schedule another ablassion treatment
Had a good experience with care provider.
Dr. Zhu is a great communicator
A very talented physician!
Dr Zhu is very good at what she does. Her technical skills are excellent. I know that the Pain Clinic is very busy but at times Dr Zhu comes across as abrupt, rushed and hassled. I do appreciate that she seems to listen better now and engages with me more via eye contact and replying to my questions.
Follow up care was briefly explained; a more comprehensive summary was provided via the portal.
Great doctor
Dr. Zhu was very professional. She recommended a medication to try during the 4 months I have to wait for the procedure.
My encounter with the doctor was very brief. She was in such a hurry. I don't think she even looked at me. She was in the room for maybe three minutes. Asked me to sign a piece of paper then left. I think she administered the steroids, but I couldn't see her since I was lying on my Stomach.
This doctor is the most caring one I have!
Felt trusting & confident in both Doctor, nurses & procedure!
I'm not sure who was who as there were at least 5 people I came in contact with, but each one was just as pleasant and caring. They all listened to me and seemed like they genuinely cared about my situation. I was very impressed with everyone in this office that I came in contact with. All their smiles and friendly manors really helped to put me at ease.
She was very nice, every one helped make it easier on me.
"Top Shelf"
The doctor was friendly and professional.
Dr. Zhu is a very skilled provider.
