I so appreciate everything Kate has done to treat my psoriatic arthritis. Medication is one small part of the care that Kate provides. She is very understanding and listens intently when I tell her about my struggles and triumphs. She is truly a CARING CAREGIVER! Thank you Kate!

Kate was very pleasant, polite, and professional. My follow up was brief, but was not lacking at all. Thank you.

My PA took the time to answer all my questions and concerns, listened carefully, and ordered X-rays. I really felt that she cared. Even my doctor came in to check on how I was feeling after my two RA infusion and explained what to expect after the third one. I truly appreciate the care and attention from the entire team. Both my husband and I thank you so much!
