      What a positive approach.. such a kind nd nice man. I really believe in him, clearly came to know he will cure me for sure from his confident approach. Eventhough he was in an urge to move out, he answered all my questions. Very eager to meet him again with the reports he asked for. See you Soon MR.Smart.

      As both an employee of this hospital and a patient, I feel compelled to share my recent experience with a neurologist I saw through the Trinity network. My care is limited to providers within this network due to insurance coverage restrictions—seeking care elsewhere would mean going out of network and losing coverage for necessary procedures.Unfortunately, my visit was disappointing. The provider arrived significantly late, and there was no communication from the office staff regarding the delay. I later learned he was triple-booked, which may have contributed to the rushed and impersonal nature of the encounter.During the visit, the physician entered the room with a laptop and phone and appeared to rely heavily on his phone throughout the consultation. It also became clear that he had not reviewed my medical history or chart in advance. I had to explain all prior treatments and medications in detail, which gave me the impression that I was just another number rather than a patient receiving personalized care.As someone who works within the Trinity system, I have seen firsthand the challenges and transitions the organization has faced. If I, with my understanding of how the system works, feel overlooked and discouraged, I worry about how others—especially patients unfamiliar with navigating healthcare—may be experiencing their care.If I had the option, I would seek care elsewhere. However, I'm left with no choice due to insurance limitations. I hope this feedback can contribute to improved communication, provider preparedness, and overall patient experience for others in the future.
