Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent doctor!
I am so grateful to have Dr. Kamugisha as my oncologist. She is very personable, well prepared for my appointments, and very intelligent, knowledgeable in Multiple Myeloma. She is quick to put me at ease when I need it and quick to react and solve as well. I’m so grateful to be one of her patients.

Dr. Kamugisha was a pleasure to meet.
This was my first visit to a hematologist so I didn’t know what to expect. She is a warm and empathetic doctor who takes her time explaining what to expect at this visit and with follow up visits depending on the results of blood work. My husband was with me and she looked at both of us and explained in detail what to expect going forward. She is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her to any future patients.

She is very up to date with the latest treatments. Plus she is so easy to talk to - an excellent listener. She is everything you look for in a physician!

Dr. K is definitely focused on the 'patient'. She reviewed my chart and commented that it will be 10 years in the practice next year. Explained meaning of blood values, significance of having Covid along with CLL. I'm very encouraged. Thank you.

Incredible Care Team
I went to the hospital with back pain where I found out I had a broken back as well as Non-hodgekins Large B Cell Lymphoma. I met Dr. Kamugisha while I was in the hospital and and I am so glad I did. Dr. Kammy (as we affectionately refer to her) helped through the most horrific time in my life. Her approach to my healthcare was holistic. She helped treat not only my cancer, but my entire self. Her team, including Michele in the infusion center (HUGE shoutout to BTW), were so caring and attentive to my needs that I'm not sure I could have made it through without them. Dr. Kamugisha's incredible attention to detail, amazing bedside manor and a wholistic approach to healing made my experience more tolerable. I wholeheartedly recommend Starling Phsycians Infusion Center in Wethersfield, CT should you need a dedicated team to care for your needs.

Great specialist
Dr. Kamugisha did something many doctors have not done. She asked me about my concerns and if i understood why i was referred to her service. She then thoroughly explained what she saw as it relates to my test results, what was of concern and what was not from a medical standpoint; but she went further to ask me what were my concerns. Excellent physician.
