This is my first appt with this provided and I am pleasantly surprised with her knowledge and care. She also told me to have my primary care physician contact her directly if I needed to see her sooner than the normal course of available appointment.
Providence Patient
I drive 5hrs to receive care from Dr. Kehl. She listens and gives the best solution to any problem I'm having. I don't feel judged and I'm not treated like a complainer. Her and her staff are quick at responding back to any questions, requests, and lab results. If I didn't have Dr. Kehl as my rheumatologist I'm sure my Illnesses would have progressed by now.
