Dr K was a breath of fresh air for us! My husband has a complicated medical history and is currently going through a lot. Dr K spent about 1/2 hour with us, seated, and treated us like we were the only patient she had. She asked all the important questions, listened to both of our concerns, made eye contact with both of us, and provided us with the best answers we could have expected. We have seen many doctors in the last two years both in and out of hospital stays. I know that this is a challenging time for the medical community with all of us Baby Boomers aging and creating an overwhelming patient load. We still need care and compassion. Dr K should be teaching what excellent care looks like, she did all the right things! The staff in the office was also caring and compassionate, thank you!

Dr. Kovaleva is an excellent doctor. We need more doctors like her. She listens to you, ask questions about your symptoms, explains everything well, and discusses medicine options.. Also she goes slowly on giving you medicine instead of just pushing a bunch of pills at you. She really tries to figure out the root cause of the problem and help you to feel better.
