If you need surgery, and don’t like BS, this is your guy. He will get you fixed up. He’s a top shelf Surgeon. He’s a stellar human being. Shoots straight, cares about his patients. Was born to be a doctor.
Very nice
I’ve had a lot of surgeries and Dr Kauffman has got to be one of the best surgeons I know. He has saved my cervical fusion twice now. He is kind but extremely knowledgeable and a great surgeon.!!😝
Dr Kauffmann was very helpful in understanding my surgery and what to expect for my recovery.
Takes his time. Simplifies the terminology and makes sure that the patient understands.
Awesome customer service. Dr. Kauffman was very professional, patient and understanding.
Dr. Kauffman and his team does a great job and I’m extremely grateful for their service.
Kept me waiting for an hour or more in the exam room, before he showed up.
A Fabuolus Dr
Very patient and explains everything where you can understand it. Takes lots of time with any questions or explanations Very thorough
