Alyssa Waitkus, PA

I did not feel heard. I expressed my concerns and although I clearly expressed some differences in my discussion today versus a questionnaire I was still not heard. I felt after I expressed my concerns the provider would repeat what she was telling me and end each statement with "ok". Repeat and then "ok" I gave up and just wanted to leave knowing I would never come back. There was more attention paid to putting in detailed notes rather than looking at me In the eyes and listening. I came in with high hopes and left feeling worse than before. I am a long time VCU Health patient and see all of my doctors at VCU Health. I have never experienced this no empathy or compassion in treatment. I would suggest she listen to patients and take notes after talking with patients when they leave at a minimum. I came In person transparent and vulnerable. I have since found a new provider because I was serious about getting help. I hope this assessment helps the provider here at VCU Health treat each patient as an individual.

Very knowledgeable

Excellent communication. Allowed me to transition to telehealth with short notice due to issues on my end. Very smooth transition and very good communication!

I have worked with A Waikus for 6 months. I feel heard and understood and she has kept me on track and motivated.

Excellent, knowledgeable, kind, patient - have already referred friends.

I love Dr.Waitkus! She simplified a very complicated diagnosis and brought clarity to my health condition. She took tests and got back to me quickly with results and follow-up. She discovered an underlying condition and has help me correct some contributing factors to get healthy. I am grateful for her!!

She was very attentive & took time to explain options & discuss meds.

Great experience. Very encouraging about my health journey and helped me feel proud of progress.
