Patient Reviews
Sep 12, 2024
I have been a patient of Dr. Kooistra for several years. My comments: My last visit I waited in the waiting room for one hour and then hour and a half in the nurse's 'waiting room.' Don't like that. But, the likely reason is that, unlike some of the Drs I have had, her focus is is on the patient, NOT the insurance company. Her session with me lasted about 30 minutes which was adequate and appreciated. This may explain why it takes so long for her to get to a patient.
