    Kara Ayers, ARNP is very thoughtful and thorough with her care. I never feel rushed by her and yet my visits always feel quick, in a good way. No one wants to feel like their gynecological care is too long. She is a great provider!

    I've had unfortunate experiences with all kinds of providers and felt Kara really validated my experience with PCOS and helped as much as she could, encouraging me to continue with follow ups to another Provider (Endocrinology) and offered a referral to UW just to see if they had additional things they could add to my treatment. I really appreciate her time and care and told her this.

I cannot overstress how incredible this experience was compared to other specialist visits I have had.
