Again he talks to me not with his back to me looking or typing on the computer. He tells me what he finds and why he is using a certain plan. He is certain that we are in agreement and that I understand what is going to be done. He is fantastic. The best doctor in listening and telling me what and why he is doing what he had discussed.

Dr. K seems to care about me regarding this fractured vertebra surgery results and found another back issue in the vertebra below the repaired vertebra. Gave me options and time to recover from this surgery and see if and how much pain the other vertebra create.

I feel so much better after surgery and am very pleased with Dr K’s care and expertise.

The best neurosurgeon in town
He has wonderful "bed-side manner" and explains things very well.
Because he explained the surgery well where I can understand
Dr. K has a great beside manor. He was very honest and thorough in explaining my problems. He explored all options before surgery. My surgery was incredibly successful. I had extensive back problems & pain for two years. Almost immediately after surgery pain from those problems was gone. After 6 weeks of recovery I have no pain & feel normal again.
He promises you that he won’t lie to you. He’ll do his very best so I would have to say that since he did a great job on me I have no complaints about his service. He did a very personal one on one with me, he explained everything that I didn’t understand
Because he’s very honest and authentic, it seems, in explaining his medical diagnosis and his rationale for the surgery he is proposing. I felt he was someone I could trust and that he has all the professional skills he needs to do a good job for me.
