And she couples that with an easy, confident manner that instills confidence in both me and my wife concerning my care. My wife is not a patient of Dr. Kershaw, but the Dr. has become my wife's favorite physician! I don't know if it can be taught or learned, but Dr. Kershaw should be teaching the class on patient care, as she sets the standard!"

- "Dr. Kershaw is truly a blessing to me and a rarity in healthcare who actually takes the time and shows sincere care for the patient's well-being with a wealth of knowledge and professionalism."

- "I was very pleased that my initial consultation was scheduled with plenty of time to review my lengthy medical history, symptoms, current medications, and concerns. I appreciate that the doctor took all of that into consideration and made recommendations that she explained well. I also appreciated that she understood my concerns and left room for me to consider some different treatment options both now and later. She asked me if I had additional questions at the end because a lot was covered."

- "She was so kind and understanding. A very encouraging doctor."

- "Dr. Kershaw has a very unique combination of intelligence and knowledge, combined with a generous dose of empathy and compassion. She seems very interested in my health specifically as an individual with unique needs and health concerns, not as a subject to be pushed through a system. Her ability to build rapport and ask probing but not invasive questions is a study for all doctors, law enforcement, and social workers. Over the years she has been my endocrinologist I have had nothing but positive results. She is not afraid to say she does not have an answer and follows up promptly after she researches. Dr. Kershaw seems to stay very current with new research and medications and has clear and articulate reasons for every prescription and recommendation. She does a great job of communicating on a level that is easy to understand without being patronizing or condescending. She has mastered the Teladoc system and leverages it to an extent that it is a truly viable alternative to in-person visits for routine checkups."

- "I have seen multiple doctors for my current struggles. Dr. Kershaw made me feel validated and heard."

- "I would like to stress that Dr. Kershaw is one of the best doctors I interacted with. Being myself a physician I know how to recognize a peer who is dedicated to her profession. We are all lucky to have Dr. Kershaw as a faculty member at the University of Pittsburgh. Besides her outstanding capacities as a clinician, Dr. Kershaw also has wonderful human qualities, she made me feel understood during the interview she listened carefully, was understanding and with lots of humor she made me feel at ease. I rarely interacted with a physician of such caliber. I hope she will stay here at Pitt for many years to come."

- "Dr. Kershaw listened to my concerns and offered her advice. She's not pushy in her advice, she allows time for feedback. And we both reach the best care for me. She makes me feel like a patient and not the next number in line. She has helped me so much, I truly appreciate her."

- "I had a very pleasant conversation with Dr. Kershaw. She listened carefully and had great suggestions for the diagnostic and treatment."

- "Dr. Kershaw is one of the only doctors I have ever worked with that I feel genuinely cares about my health and well-being. She not only talks about the issue she's working with me on, but she takes the time to talk about situations in my life that could be contributing factors. She wants to get the full picture to give the right diagnosis and the right treatment. I am so grateful for that, because most doctors I've encountered can't be bothered. They want me in and out, and I end up not getting the help that I need. I am so grateful for Dr. Kershaw!"
