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.

Kira is on top of it! She wants to get concerns taken care of ASAP instead of waiting for another month to discuss it again. So I'm seeing her in just two weeks to address other issues. I really like that she seems concerned and wants to really help me help myself! So far I think she is great!

I love that I was able to get labs done immediately for my health concerns without even having to ask for them to get done. However I did feel like I was a little bit brushed under the rug, the visit with the provider felt rushed and it made me feel like she was just trying speed things up to get me out of there. It probably was 100% my anxiety. Overall I'd see the provider again. Only thing I'd change, is that I personally like to have eye contact with my provider when discussing my concerns, as it just puts me a little more at ease.

Kira was really great. She Listened to me, and got me set with a gameplan and follow up. It's hard to find a doctor who isn't just rushing to get to the next patient, and I feel Kira gave me that good experience I was looking for, and she is knowledgeable and caring too.
