Inefficient Patient-Provider Communication: There was a lack of a streamlined communication channel between patients and providers outside of appointments, causing delays in care and unanswered queries.
Lack of Personalization: Patients felt their experiences were impersonal, contributing to a sense of being "just another number" rather than receiving tailored care.
