Patient Reviews
Oct 31, 2022
I have been Dr. Kao's patient since 1995. He took care of me when I had difficulty finding another Gyn Oncologist to treat my rare cancer. He has been thorough, patient, kind. I have had a great outcome compared to other patients around the world with the same cancer that have not fared as well. I never minded waiting a little longer for my appointment because I knew he was with a patient that needed a little more of his time. I was that kind of patient once. I feel he has always given me enough time and has explained treatment protocols well. He has retired this year but is still teaching. I will miss him and will always be grateful for him.
