This was a follow up with Rebecca Kohler.i have always loved seeing Rebecca, but this time she took extra care to listen and help.

Excellent experience. Rebecca has always shown compassion and concern with me. I have Autism Spectrum Disorder, and she has always been very patient and understanding. Even spending extra time explaining things to where I can understand. I can tell that this is not just a job for her, but that she really does care.
I appreciate the care, Intelligence,making sure I know what Is going on and what I need to do! Rebecca is the Greatest !
This was a terrible visit I had with Dr Rebecca Kohler. I was sitting in the room next to my husband and 20 minutes thru my visit Dr Kohler laughed a bit and we both looked at her as she stated " I have never seen this happen in my whole career. I have never seen someone else's picture in somebody elses my chart file." Naturally, we both stood up and looked at the photo. Yes this was a photo of me 7 years ago when my health was in superior condition as compared to now, plus I was wearing the mandated face mask and a head scarf on my head to cover my hair loss from poor health. I told her this and I received ZERO apology from her. Do you not think every single day I look in the mirror and do not see what has happened to me. I do.
Rebecca is a very caring and knowledgeable provider
I really appreciate all the care and attention everyone on the staff have given me.
Rebecca genuinely cares about me as a patient. She always has my best interests as her top priority.

The weight loss management team is wonderful... they all know the details, they all support the chosen path to recovery, and they all really care that my recovery is successful.
I was so grateful for the time Rebecca spent with me. she could tell I was troubled about several things and she was very caring, supportive and gave me so much reassurance, it was really what I needed. I know she had other patients waiting for her, but I was so appreciative of the time she spent with me.
awesome care provider
Actually the doctor was very attentive and concerned and because of this I value her opinion and am trying to implement her advice.
Love working with Rebecca Kohler, but I HATED the virtual clinic visit. it felt non-personal.
I have not received a follow-up of my visit. I find it hard to remember all the directions given me regarding my medications. Everyone was great.
Excellent
My care provider today (a PA, I cant remember her name) was AWESOME! I had lots of questions and she answered them patiently and completely. And she was very kind and understanding. I so appreciated her willingness to not only do my post op check up but also answer my questions in a kind, unhurried way. She even offered to come back if I remembered a question that I hadnt asked - certainly not something that every care provider is willing to do. I would be happy and fortunate to see her again at any future visits.
Rebecca is excellent. She provides professional advice in a caring way. She takes time to answer all my questions.
