    Felt like she was in a hurry. Usually she spends more time for discussion of symptoms & treatments, needed a new script, got a new script.

    Have seen multiple physicians at OSU Wexner Medical Center for the past 30 years. Dr. Kara Wada has been the BEST of all!!! Engages the patient, demonstrates appropriate concern, listens carefully, responds substantively, and appears highly knowledgeable and competent in her speciality. Also, ONLY PHYSICIAN I have seen at this medical center who truly COLLABORATES with the patient and asks how one wants to proceed with tests and treatment. She is what every physician should be professionally and personally!!!

    Dr. Wada was great. Listened & looked at the big picture like all health care systems follow up is lacking.
