She is amazing! Always listens. So willing to answer any questions.
I feel like my concerns were dismissed, I feel like I wasnt being heard and that I was just passed off to another specialist without even trying to figure out what is wrong with me, I have unexplained pain and weakness in EVERY SINGLE MUSCLE in my body, that is NOT an exaggeration and it didnt seem to matter, I feel like she had tunnel vision and was not willing to think outside of the box. I am in constant pain and I feel like she could've done some more investigating than she did!

I've learned more about my disease from her . Very thankful for the input I receive
She provided facts and options to look at and was very honest about my situation
Dr Woolsey has always been wonderful in explaining everything I need to know.
I left feeling very dismissed and anonymous. The only thing Christina Woolsey focused on was joint swelling, no other symptoms were addressed. She did not care about or address any of my other symptoms or even try to find a diagnosis that included all of my symptoms. I still have all the symptoms and living with daily pain. I would not recommend her nor will I go back to see her. Seeing her was a waste of time and very discouraging for me to try to find a diagnosis or relief from my symptoms.

She was thorough, answered all my questions, and took the time I needed to understand my newly diagnosed conditions and the treatment options. She informed my husband and me of the risks of the treatment and made having a chronic illness seem absolutely manageable and less intimidating. I really appreciate her care and concern. She also seemed visibly relieved to let me know that I didn't have some of the more advanced or serious diseases at this point. I can't say enough about her. She's amazing.
Very understanding and answered every question I had I just don't understand why the rest of the doctors can't be that good

its early to fully diagnose but I felt all tests were ordered or completed in this visit
She is so attentive and explained everything in detail - even when I asked a million questions!
I was very clear from the beginning that I was there for a consultation, not an exam. But the PA proceeded with an exam.
Better communication between my infectious disease doctor

NP Kristina was very very kind and understanding. She was thorough with her questions and exam, asking by virtual visit to visually see my rash on my finger and the swelling on my mouth etc. I definitely felt she is someone that I could go see again and feel comfortable with or recommend others to see her.
