When I arrive for my appointment, the nurse told me that the doctor wouldn't be able to spend much time with me. However, when Dr. Kochman spent plenty of time with me, listening carefully to my input and recommending a change in one of my prescriptions, scheduling bloodwork just after our appointment, and setting up a second visit six weeks from now. She was warm and pleasant.

Dr. Kochman is the best physician I have seen at NM in 10 years. She was kind, attentive, listend carefully, was extremely well informed, and aleviated my anxiety over the experience. Many physicians should have chosen other careers. Dr. Kochman, however, is doing the right thing.

Dr. Kochman answered my (many!) questions and had a lot of patience, which I genuinely appreciated. It had been a fairly stressful week coming in but she made me feel at ease and heard. I have also never had a doctor leave comments on MyChart test results. In fact, most of my experiences have involved calling to ask questions about any elevated/low numbers. To take the time to leave a note on the results to explain what they mean and what action should be taken if any is incredible. I will be (and already have been) recommending Northwestern and Dr. Kochman to everyone! I truly wish this is what every medical experience was like for everyone.
