Having the option to discuss my current health issue with Dr. Kose via video appointment (especially since I saw her in person last week) was very helpful & constructive. Per usual, Dr. Kose was informative, knowledgeable & caring re helping me decide on treatment. I’m always grateful for her expertise.
