"I believe that each and every child is unique and l would like to help them in their unique way. My goal is to make a difference in one child at a time. I am a firm believer that through conversation and communication I can discuss and deliver evidence-based medicine and help my patients and their families in their health concerns and challenges. In order to continue with my beliefs and to provide the best care for my patients I continue to educate myself on the latest recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics and by attending national conferences."

This was our first time to see Dr Kaza after Dr [...] had retired. I was Incredibly concerned about the transition since we had seen Dr [...] since my oldest was born. We were so lucky to have her as part our care team for so many years. It turns out, Dr Kaza was also amazing and there was nothing to be concerned about. She was fun and thoughtful and listened to my and my child's concerns, asked him before she examined him. She had read the chart and knew a lot of his history. It was an awesome transition and kudos to the hiring crew. Excellent job Cook Children's team!

This office is run very well. We have never had to wait more that a couple minutes once we arrive. And if we have a sudden need to visit the doctor they schedule it quickly and often the same day.

First I'd love to thank Dr. Kaza her kindness to my daughter, she let [...] talk her ears off about the room. Nurse [...] for always being so wonderful & the amazing ladies at the front desk for the love and kindness they showed her and my parents who came with her to the apt. My mom said everyone was so nice and showed concern. Also nurse [...] to call the following Monday to see how she was and let me know a update from the testing done.
