Hard to get them on the phone due to an insurance issue but the office was busy this time of year so I understand. Waited awhile but was seen eventually. Quick exam but feeling better now.

Everybody was nice Dr Kos was very processional.
April 17, 2026Hindy L.Verified patient
As a woman of color, who takes the initiative to communicate as much as I can with my doctors regarding symptoms and reactions, I felt extremely unheard and pushed beyond my physical capabilities when doing preliminary nasal testing. The doctor showed little to no remorse or care in executing the procedure and bruised the inner lining of my nose by forcing the camera in despite resistance due to inflammation, expressed discomfort, and gagging. She then stood in silence while I attempted to recover as though I was inconvenience to her. This review may have varied if there was some consideration towards everything I mentioned up front and I wasn’t rushed despite waiting over an hour to see her as a new patient.
