266 ratings, 64 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 really like her but if you have an immediate concern, there is never any appointments available so why bother having a PCP?

Dr Kaufman expertise, professionalism and communication skills are the reason why I trust my overall well-being to Overlake. She Listens! She never seems to be in a hurry, she ask you questions. For her you are a patient and not a metric/customer to hit.I feel she is a a great asset in the Issaquah's practice so please do your best to keep her with Overlake for many years more

My doctor is very sweet and nice. I requested a blood draw & was asked what I wanted to be tested for. In the past I used to get a message from my provider that I should remember to do my bloodwork. Now I have to research to know what kind of blood draw I need.

I had concerns that were immediately addressed to my satisfaction.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/17/2024
I was overly concerned about the wound I had as it required a urgent care visit, I have never been to urgent care. I was traveling soon....extra precautions were explained and I felt more at ease about leaving home.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/17/2024
Dr Kauffman takes the time to go over your current health and needs. She is a very good listener and explains her reasoning for care. I have recommended someone but they were told she wasn't seeing new patients. I completely trust Dr Kauffman and if asked would always suggest seeing her. I feel extremely fortunate that she is my doctor and actually cares about my health. Thank You Dr Kauffman!

Have been Dr. Kauffman's patient for 9 years. She has always addressed very quickly all my problems and been very thorough trying to find a root cause of the issue.

Excellent discussion and learning opportunity regarding what to watch for as I age.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/27/2024
Beside bringing up issues that I have concern about during the appointment, I can usually send my primary care provider e-mails in other times even without appointments and get timely replies from her.
