Patient Reviews
Jun 05, 2023
I have been seeing Dr. Kate for 10 years. If you want a physician who is competent, caring, and easy to relate to, Dr. Atkinson is the best. She listens carefully and communicates well. She follows up with other specialists who are part of the health care team. Dr. Atkinson believes in treating her patients holistically. She has a team of vetted support professionals for PT, mental health, massage, diet, and chiropractic care. I have had excellent experiences with several of those people. The office staff members are kind and always ready to help.
