“I had a great appointment with Kami. I was immediately impressed that she is very thoughtful about time. We are in different time zones, so my email confirmation had me set up for an hour later than I expected. She was on top of this and reached out earlier to honor our appointment based on my time zone. In our session, she was really, really good about discussing my concerns and getting a feel for my own insight and state of mind. She paid a lot of attention to putting together a broader picture of things. I can tell she would want to do the same for anyone coming under her care. I plan to maintain care with Kami and I give this visit five stars.”

    Verified patientVideo visit
    She was nice and seemed to understand my issue, after appointment it took 3 weeks to get any sort of communication from her as no prescriptions were being prescribed although in the appointment she had said there would be. Worst communication ever.

    Happy to see any provider who requests information ahead of time and actually reviews it! She knew why I was there, what my history was, and had ideas for moving forward. I felt comfortable with the conversation and the treatment recommendations were thoroughly and clearly explained.

    Very open and a great listener ??
    Verified patientVideo visit
    Kami is sweet and understanding! Sometimes I fear being invalidated by doctors and she did not do that. She took extra time to check on my insurance coverage to avoid prescribing something that would cost way too much. I also always appreciate the option to communicate through text or email as it is more convenient for me than phone calls. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her.
