Dr.Kose is amazing. She always listens when I’m concerned about something with my health. She’s patient and always takes the time to explain things to me.

Dr. Kose and her nurse were both interested in resolving my poor sore arm. Dr. Kose’s made several suggestions as to where to start my recovery. So I will return to physical therapy and see if that works.

Dr Kose is always easy to talk to, she listens. She is thoughtful about her recommendations. She asks questions. I know she’s a busy doctor, but I never feel rushed when I see her. I wish more doctors were like her.
