    Jamie Kantola I believe is a very competent doctor and has great wisdom at what she wants us to do and the advice is very well given. She's friendly and she cares. She doesn't come across in any way like she's just ready to get In-N-Out of the exam room as fast as you can. She cares and she spends time with her patients

    Dr. Kantola really treats me with respect and kindness. I desire real collaborative decision making with my health and she respects that. She is usually late regardless of the appointment in the am or pm but she never rushes me and I am more than happy to forgive her delays assuming she treats her other patients the same way she treats me.
