Dr. K has a very calm and caring demeanor which I value as a breast cancer patient. He explained things well and took the extra time to fully answer my concerns. All the medical professionals that I met with for various tests and appointments spoke highly of Dr. K as well, including two who had been patients of his both with glowing reviews which I interpreted as a good sign. Very thankful he was my surgeon!
