Dr. Kaufman immediately put me at ease with her bedside manner, which is something I place high value on as many doctors as I've had to see with this issue & dealing with lupus in general. She was also very straightforward in how she presented the treatment option, answered questions thoroughly, and gave detailed explanations of everything. I truly felt listened to. I had also researched her prior to our visit. Her resume is impressive!
