Kate Zochowski, PA-C, was articulate, thorough, incredibly bright, warm and personable. I was really blown away by her ability to elicit information from me - she looked at the whole me. She was highly skilled with inserting the endoscope. And very articulate in explaining the results of what she saw. Also, I appreciated her addressing issues with my nose bleeds, as well as my raspy voice, which may have been a result of my original throat issues. I highly recommend Kate Zochowski!

Explained things very clearly, very articulate, kind, clear-eyed and honest. Couldn't have been better!
Clinician was very professional. She asked many questions to get to the point. She seemed (a little) like she was losing patience with not being able to get a clear answer quickly enough --and other patients were in line.
I really like Kate. She personable and easy to talk to.
Very professional and very knowledgeable.
Professional, well organized, reviewed my chart information before my appointment so was up to date. Was cordial but succinct.
I had two appointments.The first was for xrays using barium. There were many, they went well, and the three people wereVery nice.The second appointment was with a doctor who put a camera through my nostril and down into my throat -- I was not looking forward to this -- but, she helped make it possible.I saw her report about our time on My Chart from my own doctor -- the doctor from OHSU was very thorough -- and also, very nice.
