Patient Success at
The Kitchen Clinic
“I have multiple health issues and need multiple
medicines. I can’t afford to see a doctor and I
certainly can’t afford the medications. The Kitchen
has taken care of all that. My stress level from trying
to figure out how to get medications has been taken
away completely.
“I’ve been really impressed at how well organized
the Kitchen Medical Clinic is. One of the things I’m
most impressed with it the Kitchen’s good
practitioners.
“The providers genuinely care about the patient’s
and their outcomes. The staff is great and treats
people nicely. They continue to provide excellent
care.
They have saved my life in a lot of ways.”
