    They were patient with me and kind and treated me with respect and dignity. I was extremely scared and they took the time to make sure they didn't overwhelm me with info but made sure I understood what was happening and my options. I am so thankful they were my doctor for this, their care made such a difference for me during this time.

    This was my first time seeing this eye doctor at UK. She was very personable and listened to my concerns and involved me in my treatment plan. Really liked her.

    She was friendly and competent but spoke rapidly and it was a bit difficult to keep up.

      On another note, while *Dr. Abou-Jaoude is excellent, the fellows need more education on creating a good patient experience - i.e. introduce self and role, active listening, etc.

      -
      I asked doctor to write down what the diagnosis for eye was. Instead she wrote the medicines that would be used for treatment. This would be helpful to know, but also would like to know the name of the eye condition, which was my original question. First seen by a resident, then doctor.
