Dr. K was very kind and informative. He answered all questions. I was very comfortable and impressed with him.
Excellent Doctor
He really listens. Excellent practitioner. He brings the patient into the decision making process.
He explained what and why he was thinking of my diagnosis. He wasn't eager to pursue surgery, go the conservative route. Also gave me a shot and removed fluid and was very gentle.
Dr. K pinpointed the problem and devised a solution immediately with thoughtful follow up plan.
Knowledgeable and conservative in treatment.
