Very disrespectful and not helpful at all! Tried to tell me how to parent.

She makes me feel like she is my child’s parent and not her doctor. And I do not know what is best for my child.

Fair rating for our 1st and LAST visit with Kate. Absolutely no reason for Kate to scoff, roll her eyes or discharge us with a hateful, condescending demeanor leaving us in tears after what was supposed to be a simple check-up for mild symptoms. Unfortunately after this disappointing visit, further community research was conducted on this provider..and yikes. Families of color or first-time parents,. I urge you to please seek providers who do make you feel safe, comfortable AND respected as a parent with health concerns for a child.
