    Dr. STAKELIN was a miracle. She was calm, took her time, repeated difficult concepts. She showed curiosity. I cannot tell you how kind she was. And that kindness was backed up by competence. I knew she could be more than kind. She will be effective.

      If all Dr's listened and was as concerned about their patient as Dr. Stakelin is. The medical field would be a lot better place!

      I've had diabetes type 1 for over four decades. Dr Stakelin is the best endocrinologist I've had since my first at Milwaukee Children's. The emphasis on shared decision making and education is what sets doctors like Kristen apart
