I was very nervous before my appointment, all of the staff were so nice and showed concern for my nerves and my medical condition. Dr Kaufman made sure I was comfortable and explained everything to me so that I understood better what was going on. I am so glad I have her as my Dr now. I've spent years not knowing what was going on and she has explained everything to me. I felt very comfortable in her care and I left her office feeling positive about the future of my condition and the care I will receive.

The doctor remembered my case as I had seen her before. She knew I was apprehensive about a surgery she had previously recommended.
