Very professional and seens to care about his patients
Dr. Kann was incredibly thorough in his explanation and planned surgical treatment. He went above and beyond to ensure my treatment was performed in a timely manner.
Great
Very on time! Very knowledgeable.
The Dr is very nice, and the practice overall is good. However, I was seen for roughly 2 minutes by the Dr and given a prescription for a medication that I had legitimate concerns about. I wasn’t given x-rays or any type of test to rule out or confirm anything. This was my second visit for the same injury. I just felt like I was rushed through and more should have been done to prevent yet another return visit.
Knowledgeable and efficient
Efficient, but took adequate time to evaluate, explain, and lay out treatment plan
Needs to spend a little time with patient explaining details and giving the patient a chance to ask questions. I completely trust him but always leave with questions.
Excellent, very knowledgeable doctor. I trust his opinion and know I’m in good hands.
