Dr. Kostarellis is interested in general family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, breastfeeding promotion and assistance, integrative medicine/lifestyle medicine, palliative/hospice care, and health care advocacy.

She has an interest in outpatient procedures, such as IUD placement, Nexplanon placement, skin biopsies, joint injections, and wart removals.

At URMC, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their personal healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used to generate this vital information.

I cannot tell you how happy I am that I switched my care to Dr. K. She listens and address each of my concerns. She will explain treatment option and we as a team discuss what is the best route to take. Dr. K is warm, caring, and a physician that listens and involves you in your care. She is a rare gem. I would definitely recommend Dr K to family and friends.
