Mariko Kita, MD - VIRGINIA MASON MEDICAL CENTER

Dr. Kita is spectacular. She is everything you'd hope for in a neurologist: smart, knowledgeable, and experienced at her work, able to explain complex things clearly, very kind and compassionate when talking about life-changing diagnoses, and responsive to my questions and concerns. I've been her patient for 11 years, and am grateful for her excellent care.

I consider Doctor Kita one of the top MS doctors in the world. I am alive because she realized some symptoms were not MS. I saw about 30 doctors that year and she was the only one who didn't think it was just the normal degenerative course of MS. I would have died with my death attributed to the mystery of Ms. Instead I am doing very well.

Dr. Kita is busy but she made us feel like she had time for us. I appreciate that she explains everything, takes notes and remembers my history. She take the time with me and cares about me. That is really amazing.
