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.

I have never been so frustrated and aggravated. My mother had an appointment by phone with cardiology. I called the morning of to make sure of the time and method for the appointment (FaceTime).I took off from my job and went to her home to wait with her. When 1:15 came and went, we figured the doctor would call at the scheduled 2:15 time. Around 2:35, I called the office. At this time, they told me that the nurse claimed she had called and that my mom hung up on her. At one point they told me no one answered, then that she called twice and someone hung up, and finally that they called a total of 5 times. I was with her the entire time. I went back through her numbers just to make sure, and no one had called. They claim they followed protocol and therefore she will have to wait 2 months for another appointment. Meanwhile, she has a heart condition and has been very patient. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED

Dr . Kuk did one procedure 6years ago no more problems with that. He was only one to figure out what it was. . had spells since 1980. In Dec had a different spell and he was only one I wanted. He knew exactly what it was and what needed to be done. I had my procedure and was explained everything .Has always been friendly and explained in a manner we understood. I don't know what or where we would be without him. Excellent time , appointment, politeness from all his employees. Thanks so much
