First meeting was very nice and seemed very confident in what was discussed
None
I like her a lot
I hope my provider stays here for a long time.
I think I’ve said enough no orders for my person unbelievable
They only care for bottom line. That's why they want to cut me up.
She is great and I was comfortable I will continue to see her
Thank you.
I had questions about diet supplements and she scheduled me for lab work and a follow a month from now.
Great visit.
Ms. Briseno was very thorough and explained everything in detail.
Clarissa is a very good provider - I’m just tired of the providers leaving the clinic and having to get new providers
I fell and received staples in my head. The doctor and staff were concerned and gave me the information I needed to get better.
I felt the attendants who did the x-rays should have told me I wouldn’t get results for a few days because there equipment was down. I could have gone somewhere else if that was the case
It's sad that the doctor keeps blaming the administration and the administration blaming it on the system.
Wonderful.
She was amazing
Na
I hope the next time it will be better.
Very confident in her for any health issues.
Was excellent with explaining every detail with my health
I was extremely pleased with our visit!!
I really like how she is respectful.
Clarissa Lopez Briones is thorough and doesn't stop until getting answers for her patients. She is easy to talk to and cares for her patients.
Was great for first meeting.
Changing nurse practitioners was a positive experience!
I’m not sure who drops the ball on the messages or following up on bloodwork.
Thank you for everything!!

This is confusing to me. My complaint is mainly with the reception area. My experience with the provider was excellent.
I felt she could help me very well with my health .
I felt NP Lopez-Biseno was very thorough and attentive to my questions and concerns.
Even the staff from the doctor's office was courteous and helpful.
Very good and patient .
You need to bring Melanie Chipman back. She really cared about me and my health.

She is excellent but working in a dysfunctional and ill-managed clinic.
