Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Completely Incompetent
A one star is too generous. His clinical reasoning skills appear absent, and he seems only wanting to make a buck. He speaks so fast making it hard to process what he says and he never asks if you have questions. My mom was a patient of his. She went to him often over the years with complaints of UTI's. No scans or further investigation was done. Come to find out, she has a cancerous mass on her kidney, which may have been detected sooner had something else been done. After finding out about the kidney mass (from the ER), she went back to see Dr. K. He insisted on doing a procedure, though he didn't have the necessary tools to do an appropriate biopsy. So, my 86-year-old mother, had to be put under general anesthesia, a 2nd time within a few weeks from seeing him, for the SAME EXACT PROCEDURE from a doc who had the correct tools. Dr. K should have referred her to another doc from the start knowing HE was unable to perform a biopsy and that my mom would need this procedure done.

This review is in response to the review that said "Stay away. This guy should not be practicing any kind of medicine!" Dr K is the best of the best. He saved my fathers life, and I swear by him. He is fast and very efficient. I've been going to Dr K for 5 years now, and have never had a problem.
