#8. Absolute!!
National Jewish Health Patient – July, 2023

Dr took her time with me and answered all my questions. I appreciate her thoroughness in treatment of my illness.
National Jewish Health Patient – June, 2023

Didn't seem to care much about my pain level and brushed off any concerns. It felt like a perfunctory visit for medication with little listening and personal care.
National Jewish Health Patient – June, 2023

I'm very lucky to have this physican
National Jewish Health Patient – April, 2023

Good

National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2023

I'm trust Dr K implicitly.
National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2023

This is a new provider for me. I was very impressed.
National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2023

Dr Kastsianok is very compassionate and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable with her. I would highly recommend her and would send my own family to her if needed. I am a physician also and will refer patients to her as she is clearly the top choice for rheumatology in town.
National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2023

Dr Kastsianok is an extraordinary physician, gifted, talented, caring and empathetic. If only there more physicians like her. NJH is fortunate to have her and team.
National Jewish Health Patient – February, 2023

I havre a complex as yet undiagnosed health condition, so she is not yet able to give me an explanation about my problem or condition. However, I have a great deal of faith In Dr. Kastsianok and am glad she Is my physician.
National Jewish Health Patient – February, 2023

A terrific physician and rheumatologist. She has compassion, knowledge, expertise and follow-up - a rare combination these days.
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2023

Dr. Kastsianok is very caring, does great job at listening to me and I appreciate the education she provides regarding my RA.
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2023

I always feel cared about. I hope one day the rheumatological sciences come up with better solutions for my diseases so that I can have better quality of life
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2023

This was undoubtedly the best experience I have ever had with a physician. I have never felt so listened to and cared for by a physician until this visit. She was so thorough and really took time to even take notes as I was talking. This past year was extremely frustrating for me as I have been sent to so many different doctors to determine what was wrong with me. None of them truly listened to me or wrote down notes and put in the amount of care and effort like Dr. Kastsianok did. Her evaluation and assessment of my situation made logical sense and I felt at ease with her plan of care.
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2023

I love Dr. K! She's very empathetic and listens to what you are saying. She recommends and orders visits to other doctors as well when she thinks it may be something outside her field. I truly appreciate her effort in trying to figure out what is wrong with me!!
National Jewish Health Patient – December, 2022

I felt like the visit was somewhat "canned" especially for a first visit with a new doctor
National Jewish Health Patient – December, 2022

Dr K is a very knowledgeable dr and a lovely person. She is always aware of any correspondence I have had with the portal and ready to answer any questions. I always feel like I'm her number one patient.
National Jewish Health Patient – December, 2022

My background is in oncology genetics and molecular biology. The doctor was happy to adjust to speaking in technical terminology and discuss my condition from a scientific clinical perspective which was greatly appreciated.
National Jewish Health Patient – December, 2022

I love Dr. Kastsianok ! She is so very delightful to work with. I truly cannot imagine my health care and wellbeing without her. She effortlessly picks up on things about my health and communicates the relationship with my other issues . Best, she provides me with the knowledge to followup with other specialist if needed to get to the bottom of an issue she picks up on.
National Jewish Health Patient – November, 2022

I described my original reason for diagnosis and specified the terminology I suspect. The provider referred to it more than once by a title that is not correct and has been ruled out; however it is not within her specialty and is often used interchangeably when in fact it is very different.
National Jewish Health Patient – November, 2022

It was okay
National Jewish Health Patient – November, 2022

She is wonderful
National Jewish Health Patient – November, 2022

Excellent appt
National Jewish Health Patient – September, 2022

Dr. K is great. Very highly recommended.
National Jewish Health Patient – September, 2022

Such kindness and concern for my flaring hands and pain! She was amazing!
National Jewish Health Patient – August, 2022

She didn't spend but 5 minutes with me, this was this first time meeting me. And I just lost Dr. Troung, who was my favorite dr in the world. She was an advocate for me, and cared so much about everything I was going through. Dr Kastsianok did not ask me one personal question about myself. She ignored me and brushed off things when I told her about things I was struggling with. It was frustrating. I felt like I had to prove myself to her. It sucked. I miss Dr. Troung!
National Jewish Health Patient – August, 2022

Dr Kastsianok is a very caring doctor. I can honestly say my prior rheum did not care about me. Covid changed medical care. Dr Kastsianok still cared, even despite covid. She understood my situation was unique and she made herself accessible as she onboarded me, through covid,and now as we work through a very large, multidisciplinary team where multiple autoimmune illnesses and orthopedic challenges are prevailing. She encourages open lines of communication and it is critical for me. She is the best rheumatoligist I have had and is the first one to really take my competing immune illnesses seriously.
National Jewish Health Patient – August, 2022

Dr. Kastsianok has been my doctor since 2018 and I am so thankful for her. She had always treated me holistically and looked beyond her expertise in Rheumatology to treat me and provide referrals to other outstanding doctors at National Jewish. She is a top-notch professional in her field, kind and listens to her patients.
National Jewish Health Patient – August, 2022

She is absolutely amazing !
National Jewish Health Patient – August, 2022

MD was with NP this time.
National Jewish Health Patient – July, 2022

All 3 of my doctors are fabulous. Wish I could bring them to Florida.
National Jewish Health Patient – July, 2022

Outstanding physician!
National Jewish Health Patient – June, 2022

The problem was the labs which her PA ordered were never received to review during the appointment.
National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2022

Wonderful
National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2022

Hard to understand with mask on
National Jewish Health Patient – April, 2022

Dr. K is awesome
National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2022

She seemed to address most of my concerns. I still have some concerns to be addressed. We'll see how that goes
National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2022

My doctor is very caring and always includes my husband and I in all decisions.
National Jewish Health Patient – February, 2022

This was my first visit, as always first impressions are important. But it takes a little while for me to feel comfortable and trust a new Doctor. I'm sure we will build a good relationship
National Jewish Health Patient – February, 2022

I have been very impressed with my care at NJH and with Dr Kastsianok in particular. I highly recommend her!
National Jewish Health Patient – February, 2022

I did not care for my experience with the p a
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2022

Just a little hard to understand all words with English not being her primary language BUT she is WELL worth any extra effort to understand! A very knowledgeable, compassionate and kind doctor I could not ask for more!
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2022

Cheers
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2022

Dr. Kastsianok is my hero! I have sick for 2 1/2 years with no success with treatment. In 2 visits she had me diagnosed and treatment that actually works! My guardian angel and have already recommended her to anyone who will listen!
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2022

Outstanding physician. I am a retired physician and this provider could not be better. She is compassionate, friendly and above all knowledge.
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2022

She goes above and beyond I had just lost my mom I been her caregiver last four years she showed me lots of compassion.
