Communicate well
Dr.
He was on time, explained the treatment, and provided a timeline to contact him if needed. He's got a great patient-centered personality.
Dr. K explains well. I feel like he cares about his patients.
Great!
Dr. K is simply the best! Takes the time to make sure you understand the process and he truly cares for the whole patient.
I got a same day appointment with the help of Rick who answered the phone at 8:01am - Dr. K was incredibly efficient and confident- he gave us options and made us feel like old friends. 13/10!
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. K and his assistant, Will. Dr. K is the consummate professional who also knows how to speak with a patient and to make one feel at ease. My rotator cuff surgery has been easy and nearly painless.
Technically very good and warm supportive personality
Walked me through the injury, the recommended course of treatment, and the long-term outlook post recovery in 7 minutes- very efficient!
