Dr Kage took her time with you. She looked at all my test results prior to seeing me and knew what she was talking about during my visit. She was very thorough and explained everything and prints out the recommendations. She does not jump into meds right away she rechecks bloodwork and implements PT to try to help with the diagnosis. It is very hard to get into seeing DR Kage as they have APRN’s and there is no wait. I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Kage is the best at listening empathetically to get to the root of the problem. She will search to solve the issue and is extremely scientifically intelligent. However, the wait times after arrival at the office for the doctor to enter the room are atrocious. Is it worth it? Yes, she helped me whereas two other local rheumatologists blatantly dismissed my autoimmune problems.

My first visit back after almost 2 years was with the NP and I really was impressed. My next appointment was with Donna (who is great) but it was on Good Friday and I guess the office was busy and I felt I did not get the time or attention regarding medication or any discussion about options as I thought i would have if I had visited the NP or Dr. Kage. The growth on my foot is pretty large now and I felt like it was thought of as not a big deal. I can barely walk sometimes and shoes are not easy to find that fit. I had X-rays done so I could bring to a surgeon or Podiatrist. I called to have someone get back to me to review so I could make an appointment and after 2 1/2 days I called the office because no-one got back to me and felt I was being patronized. I get it I am not your only patient but with the money we pay for insurance and copays to boot you would think you’d pretend I was. Someone finally called me the following day but I didn’t call back because I already made an appointment to have the growth looked at and removed. In general your a good practice but the service is inconsistent.

Upon arrival I was greeted with kindness and professionalism from the front reception. I was very distraught over a recurring face rash. Dr. Kage took the time to talk with me and he really listened to my concerns. I did not feel rushed and it was very refreshing having a Doctor show empathy and patience. He explained everything thoroughly. I did not have insurance; and I was also impressed that he did not push for various testing (although he did say if I chose to do so, he would continue to treat me). He recommended and explained how I could do some of the things to test the culprit of my symptoms at home; and explained how to proceed with this. Although I didn’t get “cured”, I left feeling a bit hopeful. As I was leaving the office, one of the receptionists stopped me. She recognized that I worked in Healthcare, but was presently laid off. She then did something very kind. My whole experience was above and beyond. If I am unable to clear my symptoms, I would definitely go back! Do I recommend this facility? ABSOLUTELY

My experience with Dr. Kage’s practice is nothing less than incredible from start to finish. The entire staff is so professional, understanding, friendly and comforting to a fault. The office has most of the diagnostic equipment in house which is a huge plus, not having to go elsewhere for these tests. They take a personal interest in your individual concerns, possible cause, treatment program and long term care. On a side note, we all have to spend some amount of time in the examine room before being seen by the doctor, staff, etc.. (which here is a short wait) The electronic presentations are so informative relating to your possible issues. I wish I could have spent more time reading these, however the staff is just too efficient!! All being said, I would give the highest recommendation to Dr. Kage’s practice.
