This was my first visit with Dr Kalal so I don't know too much about her She was very responsive, listened to what I had to say, and was very pleasant as well as being very professional. I am going to change from my present primary to Dr. Kalal.

Dr. Kalal was wonderful. She actively listened and responded with thoughtful feedback. She is clearly extremely knowledgeable and I felt comfortable in her care. I believe she had a genuine interest in my concerns and gave me solid guidance and advice.

She was very nice and I liked her. She definitely seemed less experienced, though - she seemed to clap onto the things she knew best, so you could tell where her comfort areas were (she seems most comfortable with prevention, for example, whereas less experienced with having seen many patients with certain issues). Also, some of the information she gave was basic so she clearly knows the simple stuff, but her eagerness to teach the simple things might be hiding the more complex things that she may be less familiar with. Or maybe there was simply nothing more complex to talk about - I'm not sure. Primary care physicians might not be expected to know everything anyway. Anyway, I felt comfortable with her and feel comfortable reaching out again in the future (and I appreciate that she encouraged me to message her anytime), so overall I would recommend. It was clear she was genuinely trying to help, and she was mostly flexible to hearing my concerns with as much time as she was able to offer me while sticking to her schedule.

She was professional and listened to my needs. Suggested medication for high blood pressure despite being told it’s only high at the doctor’s office and no other medical providers have been concerned about it before, which seemed strange.

Dr.Collette W.Kalal , from the beginning has exhibited the highest attitude of professionalism,she’s extremely thorough in that 95 percent of the time any concerns or questions that were anticipated on my behalf were addressed without my having to exact them to her. Her kindness doesn’t go unnoticed as does the expertise and knowledge of her field. She is one of the many physicians who contribute to NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE ranking #1 in the country by myself and others . ( she’s a keeper)
