Dr. K is Kind and Friendly and you can tell she really cares to help you. She listens and understands your fears and concerns and does her best to explain and comfort you, she is really WONDERFUl! I am really terrified about this procedure and she knows this and is trying to help me to feel less stressed, so I go through with it and do not cancel. I feel she will be there for me and she will do all she can to help me not lose my vision. I do not like most doctors, but I do like Dr. K she is very warm and compassionate as well as being a very smart woman. That is what I need in a doctor that cares and treats me.

She was very friendly, kind, and considerate. She took her time to explain every aspect of what was going on, and she was able to inform me of some things going on in my eye that weren't associated with my diabetes, which was very helpful because a lot of times people want to automatically associate something if you are diabetic, and she did not do that. She explained some other things that she did see in my eye. that she's going to be watching and I have a three month appointment with her. So I was very satisfied with her, her demeanor, her knowledge and her attention to detail.
