I like doctor K, as she prefers to be addressed, perhaps because people tend to botch up her beautiful African name. She is a sweet, patient, compassionate and understanding person. She has her own idiosyncratic style that some peShow moreople may find slower than they would prefer (as I read in some other reviews), but if you are perceptive, you realize that nothing escapes her attention, and that while she may be telling you about her son, she is observing your behavior and making a keen analysis.
