Kristen McFarland is the epitome of a modern day primary care/internal medicine physician. She is highly knowledgeable, attentive to the individual patient and provides the very necessary coordination of and oversight for needed subspecialty consultations in this highly specialized medical complex. She doesn’t just refer a patient but carefully reviews outcomes and recommendations to assure that they are commensurate with the patient’s overall health status and needs. Finally, although she clearly manages her time well one never feels any sense of being rushed as she gives her full attention to the patient’s history, questions, and concerns. She is the ultimate caring medical professional.

Dr. McFarland is among the very few great doctors I have known in mine nearly 70 years. She is brilliant. She actually listens to her patients! And I used the plural form as I have sat with others who were blessed to have her as their internist and was able to observe her in the same loving capacity that I witnessed for myself.

Dr. McFarland is the most thorough Dr I’ve ever seen. She had read my complete medical history when I saw her and was up to speed on everything. I love that you can reach out to her on the portal and she responds in a timely fashion. I’m so thankful that she accepted me as a patient. My previous Dr retired in December. [Patient's Name]
