Dr. Amy Kehl is an extraordinary physician. She listens intently and asks questions in order to treat the patient holistically. She goes beyond her specialty in order to help manage and treat pain points the patient is facing. She takes time during the visit and is thorough - not like many physicians who are quick to run in, work within the scope of what's exactly in front of them, one hand on the door, and ready to exit. Dr. Kehl's patients are fortunate to be under her care. I wish she could be my primary care physician!

Providence Patient-

A lot of your questions are irrelevant because this was my first time seeing this Rheumatologist. I waited a couple of months to see her because that was the soonest I could get in, and she was well worth waiting for. I think that Dr. Kehl is the best doctor I've ever seen in my life and I'm almost 77 years old. She took everything seriously. She had such a comprehensive view of my symptoms and my history and my particular areas of pain and weakness. She gave me hope which most other doctors have not done regarding my terrible back pain and serious problems with my left wrist. She ordered specific tests so that she can hone in on what's going on and help me. I am thrilled with her. I haven't had a follow-up visit yet. The tests haven't come in. So this is a waiting time, but I have no doubt that this doctor is going to be effective in diagnosing and treating me. She is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time.

I really like Dr. Amy Kehl. After several months of dealing with doctors that were maybe not showing the appropriate amount of care or warmth, I finally felt heard and respected - and not just dismissed as a patient. I think patients need sometimes some extra explanation or extra care from a doctor, and this is what she provided which helped provide more ease for me.
