She is knowledgable and caring. She listens to you and your parents if they come with you. As a young patient, I may not have enough info to respond to doctor, here parents can fill the gap. Some doctors are so rude and ignore the parents. Ms. Kaldas wants all background info, she grabs any oral and written info from any source. I feel her attention and patience. She gives you info, options, and choice to make. Also she does not treat you like coin-paid carwash, get in, pay, get out. She is always positive, and smiling. I feel she wants my best. Her office staff are also nice, accomodating, and fast

I thought it was very good exam conversation. She had reviewed all my latest test and was aware of my conditions. I did have some problems connecting online so we did the exam by telephone, but overall, I’m glad to have her as my doctor.
