Dr. Kalafut is an excellent neurologist. She is on time for appointments yet never rushes you. She is kind, concerned, professional and very thorough. I would recommend her wholeheartedly. She is everything you could ask for in a doctor.

I have seen Dr. Kalfut off and on for the past 10 years. In all that time, she is the only doctor who makes me feel as though I am her only and/or MOST IMPORTANT patient. She has a wonderful sense of humor and I actually look forward to my appointments with Dr. Kalafut. She is the only doctor about whom I can say that! Althouh my need to see Dr. Kalafut is not nearly as serious as most of her patients, she makes me feel that my problem is the most important and serious she has ever seen! With all the "bad" professionals out there, Dr. Kalfut is a refeshing breath of fresh air!

Went in once. Never went back. Very poor bedside manner. Was billed repeatedly even though I gave my insurance multiple times (and had checked ahead of time she was in network).
