I live about 100 miles from my provider, but thanks to the video conference, I'm able to keep seeing my provider. I love my provider and do not want to change to someone local.

I love my doctor. She talks and listens to me! I can tell that she is hearing me by her follow up questions. I told her about a study that I was reading about and ask her about her knowledge of and what she thought about it. From the beginning she and the Fellows that worked with her, took copious notes and asked questions and when they left and came back in with the doctor I could tell they had discussed my conversations because the doctor addressed each of my concerns. It all boils down to patients wanting to know their doctor is in a partnership with them and care about their health and wellbeing. I feel like that about my Rheum team!

I'm a BIG fan of the Doctor. She's patient, always takes the time to answer questions, is very kind and has concern for me - she has from the very first time I met her. I can't say enough good things - and I'm very picky. You need more just like her and her team

Dr. Kelly Kaysen, is one young blessing to Emory's medical staff. As a senior patient, I trust that she will always give me and others the best medical service and information. She doesn't mind showing compassion, explaining procedures and test results, medications and giving a physical touch or arm rub to calm questioning of treatments, and she takes time to listen and care. She's an asset to Emory. I really like her. Give her a raise 2. All medical people all over the world are God's blessings to mankind. And I thank God for Dr. Kaysen and Emory's entire staff.
