Dr. Sue Kalaher

My son has been a long-time patient of Dr. Kalaher. She is knowledgable and to the point. She is a keen listener and seeks to find the root of the problem, quickly, but not in a rushed manner. She follows up on tests and takes very thorough notes to which she always provides me with a copy. I always leave there feeling like my concerns are supported and my son has received the best care. She's a fantastic physician and I'm thankful for her care.

Personally, I like her style. She involves my son (age 14) in the discussions, seems open to trying some treatments but will move to others if necessary, and is working closely with the family doctor as well. She has called me a few times, between appointments, to update me on her discussions with other members of the treatment team. We haven't hit "success" yet, but I feel like it's going to take time, regardless of doctor, and that we are on the way. I never feel rushed in the appointments, and we've either gone in on time, or even early (which I have never experienced before with a specialist). For those families who don't mesh with her style, by all means, find someone who does - these tend to be long-term relationships and it's best to find a good fit for everyone.

I really appreciate Dr Kalaher. She is direct and to the point, which I like. She engages with my son and wants to hear from him before me. Which makes total sense because he’s her patient. I have never found her rude or uncaring. Her questions may be blunt but working in medicine they need to be in order to get the specific information she needs. She has helped my son greatly and continues to help him.
