Provider was not listening to health concerns, did not invite any questions, and engaged in a way that was rude and dismissive.

I was very appreciative of her time and information. My previous PCP retired and this was our first visit. She supplied me with additional options of care and gave me a referral I'd requested as well as an ortho referral.

Seemed to have a decision made about what was wrong even though I was saying something different. The referral was made either way, which is what I was hoping for.

She seems like a very competent care provider, but this was a physical and there were a couple things we just were not able to get to because of the time.

I've found Dr. Paulsen to be limited in her effectiveness. She seems to focus on one of my diagnoses's instead of helping me with current issues and even preventing further treatment available.

I have really liked her in the past. But this visit she latched on to my cough which I wasn't there for and wouldn't focus on anything else. I left frustrated and feeling unheard and unsure what my next steps in my treatment plans should be.

I have recommended Laura to people who began going to her and continued with her. I appreciate her care so much that I followed her to Evergreen. Laura has stuck with me trying to find solutions to my diabetes and sleep issues. We have been very successful. I think she is the best provider I have ever been to

At some point had her back to me while talking, talked over me, didn't clearly explain going forward plans, no sympathy towards bills or money- got a sassy response saying, "don't you have insurance?" When asking about lab test costs. Overall, disappointing experience. Felt like a number to get thru the door as quickly as possible.
