Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

It was the first time I had a virtual appointment. When one has a sinus infection having to go to the clinic is the last thing a person wants to do. Having the option of a virtual visit is so much easier, especially with a person who has had many sinus infections in the past.

Excellent internal medicine doctor
Dr Kvietkus is very thorough in her treatment of my symptoms. She always reviews my previous appointment with me and addresses any new issues or concerns. She keeps close watch on my meds and blood test results. I highly recommend her.

EXCELLENT PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN
My experience has been very positive in the last couple years I've known her. She is attentive to my situation always asking questions. Just had another wellness examination and I'm good for another year. Hope she sticks around.

Dr. K is very professional and seems to care for my well-being. She offered a suggestion for me to follow-up with a pain specialist.

She is now with the South Bend Clinic on Eddy Street. She has always provided an excellent exam and information regarding my concerns. She will refer to a specialist when needed. RX refills are quickly processed.

My 93-year-old mother was a patient of Dr. Kvietkus. She had an appt. for a 3 month prescription renewal. I had driven 1 1/2 hours from my home to take her to her appt when the Dr.'s office called to cancel her appt due to an emergency. I asked for a partial refill of one of her prescriptions until I could get her in the next week. Dr. Kvietkus refused to refill the prescription until she was seen in the office. I could not go back the next day and asked for a few days to tide her over. They demanded she come in the next day if she wanted even one pill. This treatment was totally unacceptable and shows the lack of compassion of this doctor and her staff. This was not our fault that she missed her appointment, and caused undue stress on all of us. I would definitely not recommend this doctor is you want to be compassionately cared for. Her staff are cold and uncaring.

Dr gave impression she didn't have time for you. Even kept looking at her watch. No time for my questions. Incomplete instructions and explanation.
