Kim's warmth is rays of sunshine for my family when we are going through dark times. She always hugs my mother when she sees her and is so positive and encouraging that my mom always leaves feeling she is capable of fighting this devastating disease. She always leaves my mother with a big smile on her face. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, she is doing everything she can to make our lives easier with treatment by arranging multiple visits in one day, by making sure our medication gets sent to our house so one less thing for us to worry about. She always makes sure our appointments are arranged before we leave. We always leave with a smile.

From the very first moment I met Kim, her compassion and empathy was a part in the scary storm I was in the middle of! She is always such a great cheerleader when I need it. She can also give me a wake-up call when I need it. You can always know that she is rooting mightily for my success throughout this journey. One of the pieces of advice is to "go to the water" whenever I can and it is amazing how calming and therapeutic that can be. Kim's whole attitude is about being there for her patients and she is putting everything into making my life better. She is always keeping track of all of my symptoms and has really good advice on everything. Kim always makes me feel like I am the only patient she has and makes me feel like a VIP. This journey has been made so much smoother with Kim as my nurse.
