Kara E Siford, MD

“This was my first visit. My PCP ...”

This was my first visit. My PCP had retired and I was looking for someone closer to where I live. I didn't really feel a connection with her. Rapport is important to me in a primary care doctor. I won't be coming back. Not because she's a bad doctor per se. I got the feeling she could have cared less about me as a new patient. I'm sure others feel differently. But that was my experience.

“Dr Siford is always attentive to...”

Dr Siford is always attentive to my questions and answers them completely. I trust her immensely as my primary care doctor.

“I observed that Dr. Kara is hesi...”

I observed that Dr. Kara is hesitant to escalate prolonged conditions to a specialist. While I understand that she may want to avoid unnecessary referrals, I often feel that my concerns aren't being fully addressed during our visits. I typically don't feel that prior complaints are revisited to check if they're improving. As a result, I end up seeking a specialist on my own, even if they're out of network, because I don't feel like my issues are being thoroughly investigated or followed up on. I wish the practice would take a more proactive approach to patient advocacy, as I often feel like I'm carrying most of the burden when it comes to getting proper care. When I do ask for a specialist, Dr. Kara is willing to refer me, but I feel more support and collaboration would be helpful.
