Dr Simkin-Kostrinsky has been my PCP for years. She has been outstanding year after year & continues to be so. I don't recall previously having had a PCP like her who checks all the boxes in my book!

I appreciated that Dr Kostrinsky sincerely apologized for delay & didn't rush through my appointment. I felt seen & heard. I felt that she genuinely cared & listened attentively. Definitely worth the wait.

Dr. K is, as always, an excellent physician. Although I am at the doctor's office and there is likely something wrong with my health, it is still a pleasure to be in her care.
