Kristen is awesome and truly cares about her patients! Anything that needs taken care of, she makes sure it gets done. I am on Xeljanz for my RA and have to reapply every year for Patient Assistance to pay for this medication and there is always some kind of hiccup with the paperwork and all I have to do is let Kristen know what is going on and she makes sure whatever paperwork needs filled out and faxed to the assistance program, gets done and sent back quickly to them. . Great PA !!

Kristen is great. I’ve been seeing her since I started going to AARA. I like the way she talks to me & isn’t rushed to get to the next patient. She listens to my concerns & helps to address any issues. She has a pleasant attitude & I would recommend her to anyone.
