GreaKnowledgeable
This is specifically about Dr. Atai and not my usual PCP I was hoping for understanding, reassurance, or at least a plan to investigate the cause further. Instead, I left feeling unheard and brushed off.I understand that some back pain can be common, but the way this was communicated made me feel that my symptoms and discomfort weren't taken seriously. I hope the provider can be more empathetic and listen to patients' concerns rather than minimizing their experience. He also said don't expect this to go away in a day or two so this is gonna take a while. How is this normal to say to a patient who is experiencing so much pain and numbness and tingling sensation all over the lower body to say just live your life like this and we cannot really investigate further until you go to physical therapy. I couldn't even sit down for my appointment. I kept standing in the room to tell them that how much pain I was in. I drove to my appointment and it was so hard to just hear this from a provider. It was very sad.
Dr. Atai is great! Glad I found him.

He is the BEST!
Good.

Bueno
Excellent experience
Dr. Atai is such a good listener. He seems to "get it" very soon after I verbalize about a concern. I believe his medical knowledge is very good. He never makes me feel rushed, but instead like I have his undivided attention when I am in his office. He is a good communicator, and is very good on follow-through about my issues or things he has recommended that I do.
Nothing negative to report. The appointment was a well conducted and positive experience.
Great very communicative and thorough.

Pays close attention
Dr Atai is patient and thorough
He was exceptional. He listened. He answered all my questions.
He very clearly listened very well to my concerns, and even noticed issues that I hadn't even thought were anything out of the norm. I've been struggling with my health since I was a young child, only to have my concerns brushed off by quite a few doctors... So to have him listen, and take me seriously, was a huge help. He also helped to narrow down the concerns, and reassure me on things that were normal/expected, which is always a boost to my mental health, as I'm prone to worrying. He did so in a thorough, tactful, well-explained way. I did not feel dismissed!
He was very helpful and understanding.
Only good things to say, was able to help put my health first.
Dr. ATAI and med student were very thorough

Very good
Dr. Atai is amazing. My wife has been a patient for a while, raved about him and so I switched to Dr. Atai from another physician. I am so glad I did.
Listened and prescribed something that solved my issue
He was very professional.
It was my first visit to establish care. I'm happy with Dr Atai as my new provider. I feel like his style doesn't involve a lot of chit chat it's all focused on health and any clinical needs. This is how a prefer my relationship to be with my treating providers.
Very thorough and courteous
The doctor is very, very thorough. He is super kind. He treated me and his team with respect
I felt the doctor was listening to respond rather than listening to the problem I was telling him about. He told me that I was fine before even examining me
My doctors awesome no complaints
Not impressed. I went in because I fell on my tailbone and I hadn't had a bowel movement. My hands, legs and feet were swollen and I was nauseated all day. He did cray which showed fecal impaction. When I got my lab results he seemed very non chalant. "Everything is normal " except your wbc is little low. Now I have a significant medical history. So I was concerned. I reached out and explained that I was disappointed by his lack concern. After I sent him a message asking again about the nausea and leg swelling. That's when he prescribed me a diuretic and zofran. I'm overall disappointed
Dr. Attai is a friendly, professional, and patient physician.

He listened and gave excellent advise, gave me some good referrals. Had some test run also.
