She was very kind and listens and explained everything so I understood. I wish all Dr.'s were as thorough as she was.
Kirti is an absolute angel! I'm so thankful that we had the opportunity to bring our child to see her. She was so attentive, helpful, and took the time to hear our concerns and help us find the best course of action. Highly, highly recommend this lovely woman and her staff!
Dr Kirti Sivakoti treats our child from a holistic perspective, keeping in mind the history of POTS, ADHD, addiction, and how these conditions interact and play into our child's ambitions as an academically high achieving student and competing athlete. She has helped with health management as well as condition management so our child can achieve their goals.
Dr. Sivakoti is very knowledgeable, kind, and sweet. She patiently answered all of our questions as a new parent. We easily and confidently decided she should be our son's PCP.
Kirti Sivakoti is a wonderful doctor. She takes care of my children's health and needs.
Dr. Sivakoti takes time with patients, remembers details, and connects issues to deliver whole-of-person care with compassion and calm.
She is a breath of fresh air in the provider arena. Her passion to her field and ability to talk to my children and an easy and understandable way is unparalleled. The best pediatrician we've ever had. Without question.
Dr sivakoti is an excellent pediatrician very knowledgeable and caring. She goes out of her way to order testing for us and respond to questions promptly. She is calm and at the same time has very good energy, even at the end of the day.
Dr. Sivakoti is very knowledgeable. She has a great bedside manner and is a great listener. She thinks of all the things that we don't even know to ask about. She has been a lifesaver.
Dr. Sivakoti was patient and very purposeful and kind in walking my daughter and I through the recommended steps towards a rule out or in of PANDAS. She took her time and made my daughter feel important and I am grateful to have access to such tremendous providers!
Knowledgeable and good with kids.
Dr. Sivakoti is one in a million. She listens, she believes your experience, she is well-researched and thorough in her care. I have been looking for a doctor like her for years.
Excellent care from Dr. Sivikoti at our visit. Dr. Sivikoti was considerate and showed a great deal of care for my teenage daughter with her recent medical diagnosis, and thoughtfully created a health plan for her. Dr. Sivikoti made a point of reassuring both of us in a kind and sincere manner, which meant a great deal. Compassionate medical care!
Due to scheduling issues and a sick call, we ended up in Dr. Sivakoti's clinic and we are so glad we did! She explained things well, answered our questions, and reviewed applicable anticipatory guidance until we see her at our next well check. Really great bedside manner. Highly worth the trip up to the main hospital!
Dr. Kirti is a very nice and amazing doctor. She listens carefully to all our concerns and answers all our questions and gives us the time we need. She's among the few doctors who does not complain when we ask too many questions or when we even take more time than expected!
