Review for Dr. Kulidjian
she was dismissive of my questions and pains before she discharged me. I had to be rushed to the hospital again a week later after multiple calls to her with my concerns where she again DISMISSED my pain. I insisted on another doctor and refused her service until I got one who was much more...

Review for Dr. White
I always nervous when I go see any specialist but not with Dr. Hammes. He explains what is going on, where I need to be and what I need to do. His suggestions make are very helpful in my recovery. When I leave my appointment I feel confident and I know that I am in good hands.
