Patient Experience Reviews
Dr Astrab and her team have been wonderful. My mother in law is suffering from *** and continuing to decline in health. We have been with Dr Astrab since I believe ***. Wished we had found her sooner!
Carrie Astraub took her time with me explaining everything to me
Overall, this visit was a huge improvement from my experiences with the ***. I appreciate the effort put out by everyone at this office. It was first class customer care!
All experience's have been good. Staff was very helpful.
Urgent care visit went very well
I love this walk in clinic! They are always so nice and ready to help me! They work in such a professional & caring manor! Thank you
I started seeing Carrie a year ago and am very happy! She makes you feel comfortable in your visit and goes over everything with you! The reception staff are always friendly- and I love when checking out the schedule my appointments for me such as radiology work and a specialist! Extremely happy I switched to UH and Carrie!
She was thorough, caring, knowledgeable, and full of empathy!! I am so grateful!! She helped me immediately!
Excellent primary! Would refer family and friends to her. Staff are wonderful!
I was searching for a new family physician and feel encouraged with her concern and plan to return as needed.
This visit was at the *** office. I was sick. Ms Astrab was professional and courteous. Took time to address my needs and was concerned for me. She was able to help me and called in prescriptions and I was feeling a lot better by the next day. I will continue to use the convenient care office. It is a wonderful service when you are ill and your regular physician is either out of the office or booked and is unable to see you.
Best ever
Carrie was pleasant, knowledgeable, attentive to me.
Carrie Astrab is in a class all her own as a provider. Carrie is thorough, Carrie is knowledgeable, Carrie is a great listener and she communicates every step of the visit. She speaks in a way that the average patient, no matter their educational background or prior medical knowledge, can easily understand. I am so grateful I made the leap from my former PCP to Carrie - I finally feel HEARD and like I am an active member of my healthcare plan. Thank you Carrie!
Carrie was wonderful. She talked to me and explained things so I could understand. She really listened to me and respected what I had to say concerning my health and my needs for wanting to use natural remedies or medications if possible. She sent me a message in my chart with my test results which is greatly appreciated.
Carrie was very helpful
Thus was a walk in clinic and Dr was excellent in my care and treatment was very pleased
Carrie is a phenomenal provider. She is knowledgeable, personable, and thorough. Carrie has impeccable bedside manor and I felt very comfortable discussing my health concerns with her.
They were all very nice they explained everything to .
Excellent care. Listened to my concerns and ordered appropriate labs.
This was the first time seeing this provider due to needing a new one. Carrie was very friendly and very easy to speak with. Everyone in the office was extremely nice!
Carrie Astrab was excellent! This was my first visit with her, just for a physical and to get blood work, and she was very professional, made me feel at ease, and personable.
I really like her she was concern about me and did everything for me wish all medical people were that kind.
Great visit !! Carrie was honestly the best health care provider I have ever had. I will refer everyone to her.
The nurse was very careful and expressed concern when I was in pain. The provider was very nice and took time to explain things.
Excellent
Everyone I interacted with was very helpful as usual
Very informative and reassuring
From the greeting with a smile at the from desk to the initial nurse, who took my vitals (*** or ***-I couldn't hear because of my sudden hearing loss), to Carrie, the entire experience was exceptional. Carrie was kind, inquisitive, and helpful. She examined me, while taking me through what she was doing. I found her approachable and very knowledgeable. Outstanding visit! Ironically, the reason I went there was that my mom went there two days prior, thankfully, and the other Nurse Practitioner, sent her for immediate tests. Thanks to the ordered blood and scan, my mom was able to be admitted through the ER and scheduled for immediate surgery to remove her inflamed appendix. Life saving team if medical professionals there. I'll recommend to everyone I know.
Carrie CNP is a great provider she is understanding and compassionate
Very good experience with provider. She was very understanding & helpful & took the time to talk & help me.
She was excellent, better than my primary care doctor
The Dr was very nice I really liked her and would love to have her for any other things I need to address. She was pleasant and very through with my care
Carrie is excellent, she listened, and explained everything.
I'm switching from *** to University for several reasons including insurance & doctor availability. I scheduled myself with Carrie Astrub and couldn't be more pleased at how kind she was as well as how thorough she was about wanting to get to the bottom of my illness. FINALLY I was on the mend 2 days after I seen this provider after suffering 2 other rounds of meds through *** and over 6 weeks of self medicating OTC and just being miserable. I'm so grateful that Carrie Astrub took the time to listen to everything I had already tried and made it her mission to get me better!!! I'm almost 100% recovered after 5 full days of the antibiotic & steroid that Carrie prescribed and took the time to investigate for me after what I had already been prescribed but failed. I will say I am experiencing a small yet warned of side effect (skin irritation & very itchy) from the antibiotic that I'm confident will subside once I've completed with the 10 day treatment.
Carrie is exceptional at what she does. She really took the time and listened to me like no other provider has done in the past. I'm so glad I found her!
Staff was fabulous!!!
Carrie Astrab very friendly an understanding provider very knowledgeable

She DID NOT TELL ME THAT
Very friendly and concerned .
