Dr. Kapphahn truly cares about her patients. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her– such as responding to emails on holidays, late at night, etc.– and while I initially interpreted her demeanor as cold and off-putting, after a year of working with her, I have found her to be possibly the most personably, genuine, and loving medical professionals in the field. She loves her job, she loves her patients, and that is abundantly clear once you've worked with her for some time. She's seen a lot in regards to eating disorders, so if anything, her so-called "cold demeanor" is simply a display of caution and concern– she doesn't want to be your best friend. She simply wants to save your life.

Not helpful. I know kids often resist seeing doctors if they do not want treatment, but I felt just as ill at ease after meeting with her, and trying to get my child help.g

She is not at all supportive or warm. She doesn't want to be bothered with your questions, or a request for clarification, she just seems to want to put in her time and be done. Being that her specialty is supposed to be eating disorders, her ability to form a patient-staff relationship is crucial because it is often long term, with patient trust and resistance, etc. and the concern here would be that your child would be more resistant when her doctor is cold or just uncaring.
