Dana listened and asked the right questions. Referred me to a specialist and was able to schedule my mammogram 4 months sooner than I had scheduled.

Dana Wicker is the best health care professional I have in Texas, across all disciplines. She is incredibly knowledgeable and communicates very well. She's also unflappable and feels like she's truly looking out for you. You have her undivided attention when she's with you. And I trust that she has the expertise and knowledge to make the right decisions with me efficiently. You are lucky to have her.

Diabetes Education / Monitoring

The NP was nice enough but i have a real medical condition and the visit felt like a sales pitch for the new med spa. I'm normal weight abd eat well and was basically told I need a 200.00 per month injection to lose weight. No mention of healthy eating recommendations were made and I didn't get the impression that this NP really had looked at me or reviewed my chart. Ultimately, I got what I needed but found the experience a bit worrisome overall. This provider really either needs to learn more about basic nutrition, or stay within her boundaries of knowledge

My time in the waiting room was minimal and the team at the front desk were very warm and welcoming. My visit with Dana was informative as usual. She is always so thorough and kind. Her bedside manner is unmatched. She talks you through the entire visit and is reassuring throughout.

Weight Loss / Management

Overall the approach of the program has been just good but not great. I think it would be beneficial to treat it similar to the allergy treatment offered by your office. For example on the first day of treatment it would be better to hand to the patient a printed list of important information that needs to be covered. This way none of the important information will be overlooked. Also, it would be good to be weight using the in house scale on every appointment. Lastly, I was told my card had been denied 2 months in a row. I was told they tried to contact me through phone call. This method clearly didn’t work and no other methods were attempted. Using a secondary option like email or text message would be a good thing so the patient doesn’t fall behind on the payments.

Mammogram

I usually see Dr. Thoppil at the Austin location but this time I had to see Dana Wicker, WHNP-BC regarding the Cancer Genetic Testing. Both of the providers are excellent and I am so glad to have them.

Review for Dana Wicker, WHNP-BC

Annual Well Woman Exam

I appreciated the care and attention the NP and assistant gave me during my exam. They acknowledged my concerns from previous exams and provided an option that helped me complete my exam without as much anxiety and pain. Getting a pap smear done can be painful and cause a lot of anxiety, but this was the fastest and least uncomfortable I've felt having it done. I don't think it will ever be painless, but this was a great experience, and I am relieved to finally find a provider who has options to help people get necessary exams done in a way that is respectful and relatively quick.
