Dr. Powelson is excellent.
Dr Powelson is always very personal and professional. I know I can count on her to give me her time and listen to me closely followed by giving me her expert assessment and advice
Dr Powelson was amazing. Great bedside manner and her fellow was great also
Dr. Powelson is great. She is one doctor that I enjoy seeing. She's always very excited to hear what is going on in my life and she takes the time to listen.
Dr Powelson is a fine diagnostician and has successfully managed to treat the pain I've developed from progressive spinal collapse and endless fusions. She and her staff are efficient, professional, and empathetic.
I've already recommended this physician and care team to two of my clients. Dr. Powelson's team is excellent and works extremely well together. A smooth running machine.
Dr. Powelson is great. She didn't rush through my appointment, she didn't make me feel like there was any hurry to get through my appointment. Powelson actively listened to me and my concerns.
I felt like Dr. Powelson listened to me and really wants to help me. She was easy to talk to and even drew a picture to help me better understand what she was explaining. After 20+ years of dealing with my issue, I finally feel like someone is listening and taking me seriously. I feel heard and not dismissed. Finally! Thank you so much!
So far, I'm impressed by Dr. Powelson. During the visit I felt listened to, I felt like I was spoken with, instead of talked down to (as I've been in the past), and I felt like I was treated like a person. Also, I ALWAYS read the notes after my appointments to check for their accuracy, it tells me if the doctor was actually paying attention. I was VERY impressed that Dr. Powelson's notes were very detailed, very accurate, [....] Dr. Powelson was very professional and offered some new treatment options that I'm looking forward to trying. I'm hopeful that there will be improvement in my condition.

Dr. Powelson is amazing. [...]
[...] and Dr. Powelson are both excellent.
Dr. Elizabeth Powelson was amazing. I can truly say I have never been as impressed with the physician as I was with her. I have a very long-standing medical issue and I learned more from Dr. Powelson yesterday than No I ever could have imagined. She was truly outstanding. I left with more hope for the future than I have had in a very, very long time.
The care I have received from Dr. Powelson has been amazing. She has been the most helpful doctor I have out of all of my doctors.
I don't want to recommend her. She is too good! I want to be sure she has time for me! I can't see her again until August as it is! She assured me she would try to make it sooner. However.. She is a very, very, competent and compassionate and above and beyond physician. I do not blame her for the king waits for an appt.
I would highly recommend Dr. Powelson. I've already recommended her to a friend.
Dr Powleson was absolutely wonderful.She had so many thoughts and ideas for me to help my pain.More than any doctor ever has.
Dr. Powelson is wonderful and she has done marvelous things to reduce my pain. I would never hesitate to recommend her to friendshowever, having to let someone who is in pain know that it will be 3 month wait might be quite off putting.
