4.9 of 5 stars
334 Ratings, 61 ReviewsThe ratings and comments seen on provider profiles are gathered from patient surveys, which are conducted by an independent patient satisfaction organization called Press Ganey. Star ratings are only displayed for surveyed Overlake providers who have accumulated 30 or more survey responses in outpatient clinical settings. While we are committed to publishing both positive and negative comments, we also maintain a rigorous process to review and remove comments that are profane, libelous, unrelated to the provider, or violate patient privacy.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kauffman for a number of years now. I am consistently pleased with her level of care at each and every visit I have with her. She provides perspective and balanced comments and dialogue about the issues I am there for, vs just giving basic yes / no type responses.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/28/2024
Supportive and valuable, helpful inputs
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/23/2024
Her recommendation was very sound and feasible. However the distance to Bellevue was more than I wanted so, Issaquah works.

It seems like annual physical aren't as thorough as they used to be. They're only scheduled for a half hour. You don't even disrobe.

Dr Kauffman is great.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/20/2023
Dr. Kauffman Is wonderful. She Is very kind and easy to talk to. A few years ago, I went In for an annual and while reviewing family cancer history, I had a mini-emotional meltdown as I spoke of my sister's ongoing treatments. Dr. Kauffman was so compassionate and empathetic that I walked out feeling heard, comforted, and cared for. I have recommended her to others, but when they called to schedule an appointment with her, new patient appointments were scheduled way out into the future.

Dr. Kauffman is the best! I've been pretty concerned about my ongoing condition, and she made time to see me really quickly. I'm pretty sure she gave up her lunch break to do so. It was a huge relief to me to be able to talk to my Dr. And have a plan for going forward.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/15/2023
Doctor Kauffman makes you feel like you are her only patient and makes you feel like no question is stupid and supports your ideas and then explains what is medical and what isn't and magically what ever treatment or answer you go forward to try you feel like you were totally a part of her team and more importantly you build confidence in yourself and as a more powerful advocate for your own healthcare.
