My visit with Dr Devin was pleasure. She quickly established a friendly, comfortable rapport with me. She critically reviewed notes from my encounter with another doctor several years ago (who is no longer with Emory Healthcare) and presented me with with options for the next steps and explained the risks and benefits of each. She was patient and took time to explain everything thoroughly and answer all of my questions. Nothing was imposed on me; after she explained the options, we had a meaningful discussion about the best course of action and collaboratively reached a decision.She was efficient with entering notes into the system, but when we were in conversation, she listened actively, with eye contact, looking at me, not her computer screen.She was not wasting time, but I never felt rushed, and the visit was not over until all of my questions and concerns were addressed.Although I did not need any further care or procedure this time, I would feel highly confident and comfortable with Dr Devin if I need care in the future.

Dr Devin is a kind person but tends too much to pessimistic outcomes, her way of communicating can be too cold and discouraging. She has made ironic remarks that create unnecessary tension in my medical care.
