Ever since I was 4 years old, I dreamed of going to the University of Notre Dame and becoming a doctor—high hopes for the first-generation daughter of Italian immigrants that owned a tailor shop. With hard work and determination, plus endless love and support from my family, I participated in numerous activities in high school and graduated as valedictorian of my class at Mishawaka High School. After my residency, I returned to the South Bend area in 1996 to practice medicine, and I have had extensive experience over the years in treating complex patients prior to joining The South Bend Clinic.

I enjoy coming to the South Bend Clinic --- everyone is so nice and helpful. Dr Kvietkus is wonderful, very thourough, listens and truly cares for me every time I see her. She makes it into a pleasant visit. I must also say the girls in the front office checking us in are very kind also. It's so convenient that X-ray, Lab, pharmacy, vaccines and food cafe are all under the same roofinone placw along with the walk- in clinic! I wouldn't want go anywhere else!@
Interacted very well with my husband with dementia. Explained everything very well.
I would like more provider and patient interaction. The same questions are being asked with each visit. Provider is on the computer typing the note during the visit instead of direct face to face interaction, listening and interacting directly between provider and patient. Feels disconnected
Allowed my daughter's presence via phone in Las Vegas to hear everything being said and allowed her to speak freely and ask questions. Very grateful and appreciated.
Dr Kvietkus is an excellent doctor who listens, is patient, and talks through test results and treatment options. Even though she was running behind on her schedule, I did not feel rushed during my appointment.
