If you are looking for a primary care physician, you will find no one more qualified, more thorough, more attentive, more responsive and just more of what a PCO should be than Dr. Lisa Claire Kaufman! I've been seeing her for the past 30 years, as long as I've been in DC and she and her partners have unfailingly provided superlative medical service. I can't recommend her and the practice highly enough.

I was in a total panic when my previous Doc retired but my first visit was fantastic. Dr. Kaufman was very thorough. Her testing led to some outcomes I had not expected and am now receiving treatment for. The office is responsive and efficient. I highly recommend!
