There was a lot of confusion for us as we were sent to the ED from here for dangerously low blood pressure. At the ED they seemed to have some assumptions going in (that the cause was an eating disorder) that ended up causing us a lot of stress. So there was a failure in communication, though I'm not sure where that was. Dr Kagen was very compassionate and really good about following up, though.

Please try to discuss questionnaire results during the office visit when possible. It was a little frustrating to read the after visit summary and find out that our child was labeled as "at risk" on one of the questionnaires without having any discussion about it during the visit. (I had filled out the questionnaire online a day before the visit, so I'm making the assumption that the doctor had our results at the time of the visit.) The doctor did a good job of resolving my concerns through MyChart after I asked, but it would've saved me time and worry if we had discussed it during the office visit.

Doctor spent 15 minutes with us. She was rushed through the whole 15 minutes. She didn't even go through all of the things I told the nurse that I was concerned about.

i have nothing but great things to say about Dr Kagen. she has literally saved my baby boys life twice now. to say she did her job is an insult. she did more than her job, she cared so much for not only my son but us as a family. called to check up on us several times through his numerous procedures. i get so emotional when thinking about all she has done for my boy. i will forever be in her debt. she is the most compassionate and loving dr i have ever known, if there is a raise to her salary you give it to her!!! my son would not be here today were it not for her! she is everything you would want and more in a pediatrician! please let her know how grateful i am to her! if i could do anything to repay her for her amazing work and care i would pay it!!thank you Dr. Kagen!
