I had been provided a concern about my RA. With anxiety I informed my care team through text message and then with the receptionist upon arrival. At the moment that Kate came in the room she was quickly accompanied by Dr Soloman and three students. They calmed my anxiety, explained my care, and gave me recommendations to help me understand my disease. Thank you.

She explained thoroughly on what was going on with me and what needed to be done next. She brought up issues that she was concerned about that nobody else seemed to care about that were going on for a long time already. She waited patiently for me to talk and listened to all of my concerns. She was very nice and I would love to see her again next time.

Kate Placido is one of my favorite health care providers! I feel she is genuinely interested in my care, has a lot of knowledge on various health issues, and takes the time needed to cover my concerns. I never feel rushed, she explains things in a way I can easily understand and provides additional information on my conditions. I highly recommend her!
