Dr Overbury is fabulous, and always does her homework before and after my visits! Shes just wonderful!
My previous consultant was Dr. Tracy Frech, referred by Dr. John Pauling, UK RUH Bath, and frankly Dr. Frech is a hard act to follow. So the jury's out. Dr Overbury was understanding and listened. There was no rush yet even so I - no reflection on Dr. Overbury - omitted to share several medical issues related to my condition. I'm hoping that over time we can form a good doctor/patient relationship.
Very personal and great problem solver.
I am extremely grateful to have been placed in Dr. Overbury's care. I have great confidence in the plan we have layed out for my particular situation. I was treated with the utmost of courtesy and respect.

Dr Overbuy is great!
She was very caring, listened well, & gave me information. It wasn't until I'd left that I realized I did not quite understand exactly what her answers were. But I think It's mostly my responsibility to ask for clarification if I don't quite understand or remember what she said. But she is a wonderful doctor & also let me know I could either call them or write a note or question to her in MYChart if I needed more info. I'm just remembering now that she said that.
Dr. Overbury was very patient with me and listened to me.

Doctor listened to all of our concerns & more that affects the daily life of my daughter
Dr. Overbury is without a doubt the best doctor I've ever seen. She listens to me, validates my concerns and explains things, never ever gives up until we find an answer. she has never dismissed me, celebrates with me when I see improvement and isn't afraid to send me to specialists just to make sure there aren't any additional complications from my condition. From a person that was dismissed by doctors for 17 years and has severe medical trauma as a result I can say that Dr Overbury has shown me that doctors do care and can be trusted and will work to find answers no matter how long it takes.

love dr overbury. she is very good at listening and remembering details. she is also really good at explaining things
Dr. Overbury is easy to talk to and responsive.
I was there the 20th of August and she said she would get back to me on the results of the tests and as of Sept 1 I haven't heard from her. I know she is busy but I really would like the results of my tests.
I would like to share with you my experience with Dr. Overbury at a recent vist. As a rheumatologist, she needs to examine my hands for disease progression. Dr. Overbury observed appropriate COVID-19 masking and sanitation protocol as she picked up my hand. As I watched her hands gently palpating my knuckles, I was surprised to find myself tearing up. I don't suffer from loneliness or lack of touch in my life, or at least I was not aware of any such lack. Dr. Overbury's simple and genuine act of caring touch, absent of any fear, struck a chord that I didn't realize was deep within me--that is, a sadness and sense of loss for all of us who live six feet apart from each other on a daily basis. I don't believe any of us realize the full extent of how we are affected. We just keep on going because we have to. But people like Dr. Overbury show up with compassion and a sense of confidence that help those around her feel more connected and safe--more human. I welcome you to share my story with your clinic staff, because I know that your staff demonstrates compassion every day just by willing to show up and take on the extra risk and safety precautions involved with direct patient care during this pandemic. Deep thanks to you all. - _____ (and you may use my name!)
