Everyone was friendly and helpful.
January 22, 2026
I was very satisfied having Kira Pushard as my physician. I feel she listened to my health concerns and was very thorough and took the time to review my health issues, medications, and explained everything that was related to my health issues relating to my kidneys and the cause and treatment. She also order a follow up Ultrasound which my past physician did not do. I am extremely happy she is my Nephrologist. I feel I can trust that she will provide the best trustworthy care and treatment for me.

Very professional organization, well done. The caregiver was absolutely excellent. She took a lot of time, explained things very precisely in detail, and knew everything about my history, so she had done a lot of research before I even came in the office. So it was absolutely a fantastic experience. And I really appreciate it a lot. And I've got a future to look forward this year again. You know, the follow-up was well done. Thank you. Bye-bye.

I would just like to say that my experience with Kira Pushard over the past few years, has been wonderful. She has made it easier to deal with my issues, and been clear about what is happening and has always called me directly with results to explain them in detail and answer any questions I may have. And I really, really appreciate that. No other doctor has done that with me. So, Thank You!
