“Miss Kohls is very compassionate about hearing a patient’s health problem. She listens thoroughly. Then she arranges all necessary tests to be done in order to get the proper picture of the problem, whilst in the meantime, you get some exercises so to manage your ongoing pain. You get checked very often with how you are coping I.e. progressing or regressing. Basically Miss Kohls is excellent! Thank you very much for treating my plantar fasciitis and helping me manage throughout the whole last year”
