Muy excelente y atenta la Dra Michele estoy cien por siento satisfecha.
Coordination of care seems to challenging, particularly getting refills on medication.
She was excellent, very thorough and gave helpful suggestions.
great very thorough...felt well taken care of
Dr. Jehenson is one exceptional doctor, she is through, takes her time asking questions and answer patient's question. Never in a rush to send patient away. She is the only doctor I know to check the medications her patient is taking every visit; making sure she has updated information. Really giving patient the time to fully understand

Great provider - patient and kind.
Dr Jehenson was kind, listened, was thorough, and explained things very clearly. I was very pleased with my visit with her.
I wish I was able to find a pcp as thorough as her. She has been caring, I feel that she is really advocating for me, and I appreciate the time she takes during my appointments.
Michelle logged on early for the call. She was pleasant, professional, answered my questions and researched a topic that she was not familiar with and got back to me immediately about it. Much appreciated.
She is a very thorough and thoughtful doctor.
Dr. Jehensen is good and knowledgable but it seems she is out of the country a lot. This makes it hard to reach her at times throught the health care message system. That can be frustrating for pain patients who need consistent feedback. I would really like it if she had a doctor or practioner who could pick up the ball easily when she is not around, but it seems like when she's not there we're out of luck. This is my biggest concern. Consistency would be great.
Dr Smith and Dr Jehensen were fantastic today. I feel I have a plan with injections to see if they help my pain. I really appreciate the time they spent with me, evaluating the situation, and fully explaining things so I understood.
Dr. Jehenson cares her patients truly. I wish I have seen here much earlier.
