I am so happy with Kira's thoughtful dialogue with me and her knowledgeable solutions for my best care. I have been to other physicians who I felt were very dismissive of my information but not Kira. I am so happy with the care she provides.

GREENWOOD HEALTH CENTER
For what was discussed, the visit went fine. However, the mixed up addressing of issues from MyChart means I didn't get all of my medical questions answered. Rating of 5 is true because I realize that due to efficiency, there is only so much time per patient.

She's thorough and competent. She took a lot of time and addresses my concerns. It would be helium if she looked at my chart before seeing me because she suggested I take a medicine she had already prescribed for me.

I had a referral to meet with this doctor. After about waiting for an hour over my appointment time the doctor logged on. She had not looked at my chart and really had no idea why I was there. Everything she told me the previous doctors had already told me. I left the appointment feeling very frustrated that I had wasted my time going to this appointment.

I was at the appointment for an annual physical. Provider was rushed and didn't ask about my health at all. Didn't ask if there was anything else I wanted to talk about or any other concerns I had. Insurance covers 1 annual physical per year and I feel like mine was wasted on a quick appointment without covering my concerns.
