Patient Reviews
Mar 07, 2020
Dr. Kao is an exceptionally fine physician who has provided me with the highest possible level of care. She continues to manage my treatment for a variety of conditions, and I trust her to make the right decisions about my care. Dr. Kao is a very kind and very understanding physician. She always takes the time to discuss my routine test results so that I fully understand their significance. I consider Dr. Kao to be one of the very best physicians who has ever attended to my health needs, and I recommend her without any reservations.
