Dr. Kim Suppes goes "beyond the stethoscope" and answers these 13 questions.

It's easy to focus on the basics when evaluating your doctor. Did they go to medical school? Are they in your insurance plan's network? Do they have a good reputation with patients and the medical community? These questions are an important part of choosing and building a relationship with your physician, but we also believe knowing more about your physician leads to better communication around your healthcare! At CSA Surgical Center we want you to have a familiar face behind the stethoscope, it can make all the difference to your quality of care!
