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.
