Everyone was nice and welcoming. Excellent service, first visit Dr. Berhanu spent a lot of time, just talking with me and asking questions. To figure out the best next steps. Didn't feel rushed. Was able to bloodwork on site.

Stellar physician, compassionate human, and a true healer. After years of misdiagnosis, poor management, and significant pain, I am finally on the right path. Thank you, Dr Berhanu! Additional kudos and appreciation to Rebecca and Charles in the infusion center who take such good care of me and always make my experience so pleasant and comfortable.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wolfe's for many years and have found him to be a good listener and able to offer several solutions for remedying the situation once he has my input. The office environment is comfortable and staff outstanding. Dr. Wolfe is a great doctor.

Kiley was extremely attentive, asked lots of questions and spent a lot of time with me. She was very knowledgeable and was able to really understand my complex conditions. I can't recommend her highly enough.

As usual, my most recent appointment with Dr. Berhanu did not disappoint me. She was welcoming as she asked about changes since my last visit. I was particularly concerned about a new condition that I thought was not related to her specialization. She listened carefully, and asked probing questions before examining me. Afterward she clearly explained her diagnosis based on my symptoms, her observations, and her medical knowledge. Several physicians from the specialty most associated with that condition had not been able to fit the pieces of the puzzle together. Her insight as a rheumatologist helped me to see that she definitely needed to be part of my solution. Dr. Berhanu is an excellent physician.

Dr. Worthing listens to what you say and tries to help you reach a solution.

Hello. I am a new patient who visited Dr. Kaiser for the 1st time on 1/22/26. I had a very positive experience. I feel like I had a doctor who listened to me. She was personable thorough & professional. She took the time to explain circumstances. She asked all the proper questions regarding my situation. I know this is typical or the way all doctors should be, but it isn't. At any rate, my visit there was very pleasant.
