This was a follow up with Rebecca Kohler.i have always loved seeing Rebecca, but this time she took extra care to listen and help. I had additional concerns about my progress and she was thoughtful and attentive when I expressed them. Her suggestions were perfect for me, and I felt very heard. I received exceptional care and attention from her.

Excellent experience. Rebecca has always shown compassion and concern with me. I have Autism Spectrum Disorder, and she has always been very patient and understanding. Even spending extra time explaining things to where I can understand. I can tell that this is not just a job for her, but that she really does care.

This was a terrible visit I had with Dr Rebecca Kohler. I was sitting in the room next to my husband and 20 minutes thru my visit Dr Kohler laughed a bit and we both looked at her as she stated " I have never seen this happen in my whole career. I have never seen someone else's picture in somebody elses my chart file." Naturally, we both stood up and looked at the photo. Yes this was a photo of me 7 years ago when my health was in superior condition as compared to now, plus I was wearing the mandated face mask and a head scarf on my head to cover my hair loss from poor health. I told her this and I received ZERO apology from her. Do you not think every single day I look in the mirror and do not see what has happened to me. I do.
