    The 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.

      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.
