Dr. Pham has been very understanding and helpful. She listens to my concerns and makes me feel like I matter to her.
This was my first visit with Dr. Pham after my previous physician retired, and she obviously had done her homework on my case before we met. She was aware of my condition, medications and other resources, and noted that some follow-up blood work needed done. She immediately followed up with me with a recommendation when the results came in. Dr. Pham was clear in her communication and comfortable to talk with.
Dr Pham is very compassionate & caring. Due to low staffing, she apologized to me for seeing me so late. I appreciated that she was considerate of my time. Thank you, Dr Pham.
Im so glad I found her and finally feel for once in my life that Im working toward a solution to my problem.
She is passionate. She listens very well. She wants to find a solution and isnt scared to double medications. She cares about her patients needs and goals.
Dr. Pham is a very knowledgeable and creative neurologist. I highly recommend her.

Kendra takes as much time as needed to address all of my questions. She is very thorough and has a lot of suggestions for managing my pain.
Dr. Pham reviewed my physical (health) and drug intervention history with me in detail. She discussed possible solutions/remedies for now and in the future. The pros and cons of each. Why I should quit some medications and why they are creating more issues instead of helping. This was very useful information and made a lot of sense. I never felt rushed!
I like her and she makes me feel like she really cares.

Dr Pham is smart, knows what she is talking about. She is also patient & concerned about me and what I am experiencing..
Overall demeanor lacks empathy and compassion. Visits feel impersonal and transactional. I didn't feel like she cared about my health and wellbeing and was either unwilling or unable to provide additional clarification and information about treatment options.
