Patient Experience Reviews
Excellent
I have been a patient of Dr. Samsa for 10 years. He is a very patient and compassionate man. I have recommended him to several people over the years. I couldn't ask for anyone better than him or his staff
Good professional staff in Concord and Willoughby offices
Dr. Samsa is excellent! He always explains everything and spends as much time that is needed listening to you.
I have never had dr appointments go so quickly. I really appreciate that
Good experience
I received an appointment and I was able to to see Dr Samsa in a very acceptable time for the issue I am having I received great care and it's comforting because at times I find myself a bit overwhelmed. I thank the doctor also but I am extremely grateful for him and his care
Excellent visit.
Dr. Samsa was fine. Very happy with him. However I got a call the day before the appointment, was told to go Tri Point (I go the Willoughby office) When I got to Tri Point they did not have an appointment. It was originally scheduled for the Willoughby office, however, he is not at Willoughby on Friday any longer and they failed to schedule me for Tri Point even though they told me to go to Tri Point. He was there and I had my appointment. I guess with the UH system a lot of these glitches re happening. Everything turned out fine. It is very upsetting when you are told to go somewhere else and no appointment was made! I am scheduled for my next appointment is scheduled for Willoughby and I hope that goes well. I will check before I go to that make sure that they change the location.
My UH medical team rocks! I've been in great hands since this journey began ***
