Dr Prickett is perhaps one of the most professional and empathetic physicians that I have ever encountered. I had been having issues with the medication that I had been taking and she throughly canvassed her colleagues and others for a recommendation of a replacement . She is always available notwithstanding her responsibilities as a principal pulmonologist to NWM's Covid practice.

I don't believe I am getting the quality of care from Dr. Prickett or in patient hospital staff. It's feels like if I ask questions about my problem I am being a burden to them. It's like listen and be quiet. I don't judge the diagnosis or treatment, I just want to understand what's wrong and how to care for myself. I started coming to NW because it's supposed to be one of the best hospitals with the best doctors.
