Dr. Kagen is so informative, kind, thoughtful, and great with my baby. She does a wonderful job of telling me what to expect and talking about milestones to look out for. When I've had questions or concerns, she's great about addressing them. She also guided me through a very difficult start with breastfeeding, and I've now been going for over a year.

I felt like she was very rushed and she didn't really take the time to explain what was going on. The after care instructions were pretty vague.

Love Dr. Kagen. I like the newness of the rooms but hate that pediatrics does not have a separate waiting room. I hate the parking at the main hospital more so I'm not switching locations.

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.
