The doctor was thorough in the medical reports pointing out the things that were already taken care of. She did well in arranging certain appointments to ensure the ultrasound was necessary to narrow down to the problem. But also she was on top of things in getting me the right medication I was seeking.

Dr. Kate Geschwind is an excellent Dr! When I came to her as a new patient I expressed I need a Dr who will listen to my concerns and help me figure them out. Dr. Geschwind has lived up to this expectation of mine to this day. She is very compassionate and shows true interest in helping you with medical needs.

Excellent
February 14, 2026
In my two visits with Dr. Geschwind, she has listened to my concerns and offered next steps. More importantly she has never discredited the tests that I have asked for (specifically to help determine the cause of the lower leg edema that I've been experiencing for a decade).
January 21, 2026
The doctor responded to each of my concerns with treatment or recommendations, and suggested additional issues that should be checked.
