Great bedside manner and really explained in detail options and ultimately why I would need surgery. Very open to discussion on options and I never felt judged.
Answers questions, explains, asks questions- checks to make sure I’m leaving satisfied. Lets me know symptoms that might indicate I should return. Personable.
Excellent
Pleasant, thorough, knowledgeable. Took time to explain results of MRI and answer questions about upcoming surgery.
Very compassionate and friendly More like a good friend rather than a doctor She listens to everything I said and makes me feel comfortable in her office Top 10 doctor for sure
Very professional explained in dept my shoulder options. Fast check in waited 10 minutes to see Dr
Wonderful doctor, Ihave been her patient For over I5 years.
Always informative and kind.
As a former client, her manner and explanations and suggestion for path forward today were excellent just like before
I think Dr Kooima is great!! The drawback, today, was that she was nearly an hour behind, causing to almost miss my PT appt. BUT, I did make barely on time. Thankfully, because missing it would have really messed up my day. PHEW!!! 😅
