    Dr. Kennedy, I feel goes above and beyond. She has always made me feel comfortable. She listens to what I say to her and then she'll go back over with me so she completely understand the issues . I'm very grateful that she's on my medical team.

      The only thing I wish was change would be that the dr. would speak to the family without patient being present. Patient became upset hearing about behavior that he did not remember because of dementia.
