I've been a patient of Dr. Christine Kakoulas since the 90s and could not recommend her more highly. I find her caring, thorough and thoughtful. She has, quite literally, saved my life (more than once).

Dr K is always on top of her game. She’s so knowledgeable about new meds,tests and services. She always makes me feel like I’m her only patient. Her service and follow up is personal and never rushed. I cannot say enough good things about her. I trust and respect her 1000%. She’s the Best!

Christine is thorough and efficient. We spent a great deal of time together and discussed wellness options in addition to completing a full physical exam. She spent a great deal of time and not only listened but suggested options that suited my lifestyle.

I would thoroughly recommend Dr Kakoulas. As a cancer survivor I've seen hundreds of doctors and different medical practices. Dr K is caring, she listens, offers advice and always follows up. In emergencies, I've been seen immediately and she's always returned my calls. I feel very comfortable with her and believe that she truly cares about her patients.

I have seen Dr. Kakoulas twice now as my new internist and she is great. I like someone who will give me the facts straight without a lot of extra "fluff". Not to mention she is young and has her finger on the pulse of modern medicine. I trust her and recommend her without reservation. The office/practice is busy but organized. They work with lots of insurance plans which is great too!

Best doctor I ever had! She's incredibly smart and friendly and really cares about her patients. I moved to Pennsylvania recently and still travel to NYC just to see her. Would highly recommend her!
