She was polite and courteous. She listened to my concerns and explained everything in “easy to understand” terms for me to fully understand what was going on with my finger. She explained and even drew me a picture of what happened to my finger on a piece of paper. This trul showed me that she was educating me as a patient. I teach for a living so I was truly impressed that she took the extra time to show me all I needed to know to be informed.

Dr. Kadow has been great from the start. She’s calm, very knowledgeable and thorough. She explained the process every step of the way. She really listened and took my concerns seriously. I was sure that I broke my elbow along with my wrist. So she ordered additional X-rays and even double checked before surgery to make nothing was missed. And at the post surgery appointment she remembered and asked about my elbow.
