i would want others to have that level of care.

she is knowledgeable and compassionate about resolving my concerns.

she is very easy to speak to, and always comes up with different ideas. so you've been choose which one you want to go with.

debra has been my palliative care provider as i collect additional chronic issues

willingness to listen and provide answers

debra is a wonderful listener and quickly takes care of all my issues

i have full faith in the support we get from her

debra kossman is a joy to telmed with every few months.

she's very knowledgeable and tries all angles to meet any and all needs

dr. kossman is very patient oriented and works hard to find a treatment plan that works.

i feel very comfortable discussing any and all symptoms that i suffer with and she has been very supportive in helping me with relief

her inquiries on my diagnosis, treatment and daily handling for myself were laser focused on how, why and what we will be doing at next stage.

professional, her experience, seemed to understand our needs.

the addition of one pain medication and an increase in one of my existing medication allows me to have much more confidence in my ability to control pain especially at sleep at nite.

she is amazing dr ..l am grateful for her care

she had great bedside manner, asked the right questions, gave good info and left in a timely manner with me feeling confident in her ability

she really listens,and seems focused on helping with my health.

again, debbie was genuine and truly cared about what not only my mother is going through but her whole family as well. she was patient with my mom who didn't talk much due to her extreme fatigue from whole brain radiation. i had been anxiously awaiting this appointment for over a month to get my questions answered and she did a fantastic job. thank you so much debit, we can't wait to meet with you again in 2 weeks!

she was open to all questions i had and i felt as if she really cared.

i was satisfied with the quality of care.
