With meeting with Dr. Kalay I felt like there was a lack of care coming from him. Everything felt rushed and a very condescending tone when asked if a shot that I was unaware of what was in it, would hurt and was responded with ?Well it?s a shot?. I left out of the office with tears in my eyes. As a Black women who has gone through a few doctors where it felt as though there was no genuine care or concern for them, Dr. Kalay has been added to that list of doctors who I will not be returning to.

I just concluded a course of anitibiotics. I have a lingering cough and chest issues, so I called this morning to see a doctor to make sure it wasn't anything more serious. I have a big job soon, so it's very important to get my health in check. I got and appointment. I waited 45 minutes once I was taken to a room to see a doctor. Dr. Kalay apologized for the wait. I appreciated that, but I wanted him to know I understand how busy he is and that I was quite thankful just to be seen today at short notice. In the end, I had a chest x-ray to confirm nothing serious and prescribed an inhaler to take care of the issues. It's very important to be seen when the need arises, so hats off to you for making it happen.
