    Dr. Kagen is a top notch provider. She's a caring professional who asked my 10yo questions directly in a way that he could understand and allows him to feel comfortable and confident in his own care. Sometimes there's a wait to get in with her, but she's so worth it! Dr. Kagen is thorough, quickly responsive, knowledgeable and an all-around excellent pediatrician

    Who does not love Dr. Kagen? She has the perfect blend of professionalism, relatability, and warmth. She's not pushy or judgmental. She's kind and very gentle. She's thorough with her explanations without causing overwhelm. My kids do so well with her and we look forward to coming to see her.
