    If I could give her a 100, I would. Kristen has an uncanny ability to listen to what is said, to what is not said, and to find a middle ground that is workable. Her willingness to learn more about a patient is exemplary. Her work ethic is excellent. Her team rallies around her with joy. This is a gifted practitioner.

    Kristen is always kind, reasonable, non-judgmental, and cares about her patients. My insurance company tried to stop covering one of my medications and Kristen and her medical staff fought for me and my health needs. Kristen has also referred me to other specialists when needed. I’m glad she is my provider!
