Comments from Dr. Kame:

“The interesting aspect of this site is that is is, obstetrics excluded, a full family practice. I see up to four generations of the same family and students can fully appreciate the impact of family dynamics on overall health states. This is a great, low-pressure, enjoyable, learning environment.”

“Dr. Kame is a wonderful physician to work with, she has very close relationships with her patients and she demonstrates how important the doctor-patient relationship is, especially when managing chronic disease.”
