Very focused on helping me as a patient
My shoulders have 2 issues; I would have preferred a little more time spent on each one. I appreciate the choices I was given for each one and his caring bedside manner.
He explained everything well
Dr K has been on top of paper work questions medications everything in his power he is a very kind man and absolutely great Dr I am so happy that I ended up with him as my orthopedic as I have had every problem you can get with a broken leg… and him and his staff has been on top of every complication that has evolved through out this process of trying to heal unfortunately he can’t not force the bone to reconnect (I wish he could) but he was trying his absolutely hardest to keep me out of surgery, until it was completely out of his hands
Hope this last for a while
