Dr. Kort cultivated my trust.

07/08/2024

This was a referral and I feel like the doctor who referred me Dr. Aliwalis may not have sent me to the right option to get my answers questioned and feel like what I was seeking just questions and what she wrote on the referral was misleading therefore when the doctor came in I felt a bit attacked for what I was looking for was not what my doctor wrote on referral obviously but the Doctor did listen in the long run and answered all my questions and concerns just felt a bit attacked in the beginning of my appointment.

06/28/2024

I feel safe and confident

06/24/2024

Wasn't aware of hand washing since I was lying down with eyes closed. They could mention . Not sure if doc actually performed the biopsies or if she was guiding the others present..always good to be told. Waiting for results..
