Extremely personable! Good eye contact. Answered all questions …very informative. Really liked him!
I have only actually send the doctor at one of my three visits but he was so friendly and knowledgeable when I was in the hospital and the time o saw him in the office
Dr. Kilifer is a caring and skilled Surgeon. He operates only when he thinks he can be of help. He was able to fuse two of my lower vertebrae and now I am able to hike over 10 miles up the mountain trails. I highly recommend that you talk to him before you have bad surgery.
Pays attention to patient. Answers questions. Very good support staff. Good sense of humor. Appears to be very interested into patient needs.

Thouough explanation of options for treatment. I felt like he listened to my questions and answered them fully. I didn't have the feeling that he was rushing to get to his next patient.
