See above. Dr. Kalember is simply an outstanding doctor in every respect! I feel very cared for because she is a great listener, answers all of my questions thoroughly and completely and makes me feel completely at ease. She is one of the most gifted doctors I have ever met and keeps up with all of the latest medical literature, including information regarding nutrition, vaccines and patient care, to name just a few. She is very easy to talk to and respectful of my specific needs and concerns. She works with an amazing assistant who is wonderful to work with too and shows many of the same attributes as Dr. Kalember — great listener, always puts me at ease, and very talented in all areas in which she assists Dr. Kalember.
