    I've only seen Dr. Komagisha twice, but both times I had a really positive experience. I feel like she really respects the patient's input and if the patient has done research into things that I think might be going on. She was very good to calibrate to my level of knowledge about my own body and condition and helped me get the information I need rather than like talking down to as if I didn't know stuff. And I feel like we have very direct patients that I really appreciate it.
