Apr 17, 2023
Dr. Kukar and his team were nothing short of direct and reassuring about my treatment plan. I appreciate his knowledge, explanations, attention to detail, and openness to my questions and concerns. I feel confident in his hands. During a time that is terrifying, it is reassuring to know we are on the same team.
