She does a great job and answers all questions.

Kara was very helpful and professional she explained things so I was able to understand the problem I was very pleased with my care.

She did an amazing job at making me feel comfortable, she took her time. I did not feel rushed. There was minimal pain from the type of injection I received which made me feel that she is a very skilled practitioner. She allowed me to play meditation music while she did the injection, which was extremely helpful for me.

Excellent service

My symptoms to her and she told me what it was and she gave me several different options to take so I checked. I took the last basic one first and then she gave me options.

Kara has a very kind and gentle manner about herself. And, is the same with her patients.

Kara is extremely caring and a great listener. So also explains things in a manner that can be understood.

Kara is very caring and excellent at her job. If I can't see Dr. Copeland, I'm more than happy to see Kara.

Kara was very thorough and provided good options. The only way the visit could be improved is if she would have introduced herself. I thought I had an appointment with Dr. Copeland.

She explained my arthritis well but she needs to introduce herself when meeting with a new patient. I had no idea if she was a nurse, NP or PA. I made an appointment with Dr. Copeland and never saw him!

She asked a lot of questions always very concerned about your well-being just a great job

Kara was patient and answered all my questions.

Explained everything she was doing.

Kara is kind and friendly with patients. She explains everything and ensures that I didn’t have any unanswered questions.

Very thorough. Nice personality.

She was very nice, but when I make an appointment with Dr Copland it would be nice to see him.

Pleasant. She also explained what and she was doing and fir me to ask question if needed.

Tara seemed knowledgeable and was very polite

Kara was very friendly and professional. She took good care me with my broken ankle.

Very nice and answered all my questions.

She was friendly and professional. I did have some sort of bad reaction for around 20 hours. My wrist, hand and even lower arm were very painful to the point that I could not use my right hand. When I woke up this morning it was normal with improvement in the wrist. This has happened once before but it only lasted a few hours.

She was informative! Kara took the time to show me my X-ray, explain why she was concerned and explain the steps moving forward with my care. I very much appreciated her wonderful care!

Very caring person and well informed about my medical issues. She has already reviewed your issues before she comes into the patients room. I like that very much. I would highly recommend her

She was very understanding, and listens. I was provided excellent care,and am able to move and lead a better life.

She listened to what you were explaining your problem and suggested what to do with options very pleasant

Kara is exceptional! Kara actually reviewed my history, before meeting me! I received a shot in my knee, and it didn't hurt at all. Thanks, Kara!!!

Kara was genuinely concerned about my health, especially all of the recent events. She was reassuring in respect to my concerns about my visit. Her compassion and care were beyond my expectations.

Very nice and comfortable to talk to.

Very nice and sweet

I get exceptional service every time I'm in Ms. Holcomb's office. Would recommend her and OIO to anyone!

Friendly, knowledgeable, very helpful

She’s always so pleasant and listens to me. Her shot giving skills are pretty good considering it’s a shot right in the joint, and you know it’s gonna burn.

Always warm & welcoming

She was very thorough on letting me know my test results so that I understand everything

Very professional

I felt listened to & explained what I preferred as a plan of action & options were given. It was refreshing to be included in the POC & an actual hands on exam for ROM & evaluating hot spots

Good job with my elderly mother who needed a cast for a broken arm.

Very concerned and double checked x rays for potential problems. Very nice.

She is such a kind person.

Gentle, concerned, polite, caring, all for medical need for the issue.

The first time I was in the office I didn’t think of many questions. She Took her time to answer my questions and show me on a knee model what my injury was

I like her a lot. She is very caring and knowledgeable.

Love her! Thank you!

She was very nice and polite. Very caring also.

Very informative and professional

Kara is very nice and knowledgeable!

I was very pleased with Kara! She took great care of me.

Very nice I felt like she understood my concerns

Seemed very knowledgeable, was very professional and personable as well!

Instead of asking me IF there had been other treatment prescribed and tried, the question was what other treatment had I tried, as if I was supposed to know what to do. In addition, I had to ask if I could continue certain efforts such as icing, Ibuprofen, etc. As the paid practitioner, I would have expected that direction to come from the staffer. My sense was that the goal was to get me in and out, with a skittle patient interaction, support and direction as possible.

Very professional and caring

Positive and helpful

Kara was absolutley amazing with me I'm embarrassed to say I started crying in the office because I'm in so much pain in my shoulder I just wanted something done. At that point I didnt care what the out come was going to be. I apologize to Kara for crying. She was so gracious and understanding and told me she was going to find out what was going on she believes its do to my neck .she showed me the x-rays and pointed out what she believes is the problem. She put me on to meds and I'm going to have therapy. She listened to me and I appreciate her so much shes wonderful.

Kara is awesome

Kara was sweet, kind and delivered my injection almost painlessly! I really like her.

Listen Ed to my concerns

She listened to me explain my current condition without judgement. She also acted upon a current concern or condition that i had, which led to a baseline set of knee xrays. She went over the x-rays and explained the result to me. I left feeling very comfortable with what we discussed.

Very professional and caring

Very kind and listened. Only thing was she never introduced herself so I didn’t know her name until after the appointment

Kara was really nice to talk to and she explained everything so I could understand. I would highly recommend her to everyone. Robin

She didn’t seem to truly care what I was asking about my condition and then just showed me the x-Ray of my hand when part of my questions were about opposite hand. Plus the doctor stood beside us and never acknowledged me as his patient!!!

Kara was very professional and did a great job explaining things to me.

Kara very professional, listened to my symptoms, talked about possibilities.

super nice and very good wirh my elderly mother.

Kara and Dr. Copelands whole staff are awesome!

She listened to me! Definitely explained well what X-rays showed and options. Would for sure return and would recommend to all.

Very professional and business like. A procedure very well done.

Kara was great! Thank you

Nurse Practitioner Holcomb, is one outstanding medical professional, very caring, and concerned to her Patience needs. I highly recommend the Orthopaedic Institute of Ohio, all because of the Professional People that care for you.......

Kara is very nice, but twice she has told me one thing, then the doctor (Copeland) has told me something else. I like her... but I don't fully trust her. I wish they were on the same page, so you know who to listen to. I just don't have full confidence.

Kara, is very friendly and thorough . Very professional . She listens to what you have to say or let's you explain what's bothering you and seems concerned . Does what she can to help . Thanks so much.

Great job. Knowledgeable, witty, caring. Good with a needle.

Twas very nice meeting Kara this morning and she was very kind, understanding, and professional in her care of me. Top Marks !! - Richard Myers

Knowledgeable, listens intently

I was disappointed after waiting for two weeks to see Dr. Copeland that I saw a Nurse Practitioner. I could have had an earlier appointment which would have been nice. She was a nice young lady, but I would have liked knowing that was who I was going to see!

Very patient and professional, did an excellent job.

Very caring and knowledgeable.

Very professional and personable. Answered my questions and did an excellent evaluation.

She was very patient with Dave, who has vascular dementia.

So nice love her

Concerned, lacks some hands on evaluation, communicates well

It may not be fair to rate Kara specifically, as I also saw other providers at the facility, but it would speak to the team more so as to the preparedness to PSA a patient to three different providers at the same facility and no one after the first visit seemed at all up to speed with the situation.

Rxcellent

I came in for a follow-up appointment after my Achilles injury. Kara was very attentive and listened to my concerns and addressed them. I trust the entire staff at Dr. Copeland office, they provide top-notch care.

Very thorough and professional

Kara is the best!! Caring, great listener and administers cortisone shots without any pain!! Thanks Kara!

Kara was thorough in her examination of my knee. She answered my questions and listened to my thoughts about therapy and how I felt I was progressing.

She listened well and gave great insight into a complex situation. Grateful for her work.

She was very thorough and polite.

Exceeded my expectations in healthcare professionals!

Kara was friendly and knowledgeable She made my daughter feel at ease.

Very, very nice... However I saw her approximately 4 times and she has yet to introduce herself. I didn't realize she was a provider until she said "ok now this is what I want you to do". It was then that I assumed she was more than an RN. Extremely sweet, though

Kara is very knowledgeable and takes her time with you. Highly recommend Kara. Very nice lady.

Very professional , answered all my questions

Very friendly and answered all of my questions!

Kara met me for the first time. She did a quick exam and knew exactly what was going on. I told her about my PT recommendation and she said "Sure, we can do that." She didn't make me schedule another appointment to have a cortisone shot done. I was surprised and pleased! Thanks Kara:)

Very personal and knowledgeable. Answered all our questions.

Answered all of my questions, gave me my shot in the knee......painless. Great experience
