Dr. Kais is interested in patient-focused quality of life improvement measures, patient-care advocacy, improved patient-physician communications, and IBD research. Along with her clinical practice, she incorporates patient education and outreach as often as possible. With the proper tools and guidance, she works with her patients as a team to treat the disease and helps them move through an often difficult process together with as little stress as possible. She believes in personalized and individualized care, and also feels the more knowledge a patient has about their own disease, the more informed a decision they are able to make and ultimately improve their quality of life as a whole.
