Kate, I maybe should have said if it might make a difference in the timing of the ENT appointment. I am going to a very remote lodge in Alaska to fish for a week (& quick visit with brother in Seattle) from 9/5-9/16. I would pShow morerefer to have this test behind me before I go, if possible. ( I am also visiting family and friends back east from 9/26-10/11. Busy fall! Thank you so much for your consult! Anita

Initial reason for appointment was never addressed to any conclusion - "I don't know" - asked Dr. Google frequently. Dislodged IUD during PAP smear. Discussed medication with office staff in the hallway. Discussed issues with me with the door open. Disregarded location of follow up imaging "Does it really matter?" "I have 2 other patients waiting for me." so we needed to rush through my appointment. Unprofessional, uninformed, uncaring, and uninterested.

Amanda M • July 30, 2026

Kate was awesome. She listens like no other doctor I’ve ever had. She really cares and actually helps with the problem. She doesn’t send me off to some “specialist”. She actually does what I believe a doctor is supposed to do. Helps me with my problems.

Doctor Kate has been very patient with numerous emails and a personal phone call concerning a referral to a dermatologist in Woodstock, Virginia where I am currently. She was prompt in providing a review of telehealth that was required.

Kathryn is great!! Very intentional with her care and expertise. The office people not so good, rude. Also phone people don't seem to know how to answer the phone. Very hard to make an appointment.
