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 think Dr. Kukielka is very conscientious about my state of health and healthcare

Dr. K cares about my health.
Dr. K is concerned for my overall health and has taken me off of several medications that I was previously taking. His sincere interest in my well being and heart health are greatly appreciated.

Dr. K provided me, a 70 year old scared cardiac patient with time empathy, understanding, and excellent, down-to-earth details about my heart disease and options for treatment. Dr. K visited me several times and returned to meet with and give my adult children the same level of care. I highly recommend Dr K.

Very Friendly staff. Dr. K. Is straight to the point, knowledgeable, friendly and in my opinion generally cares about your health and well being. He doesn't talk with medical jargon he talks so you understand exactly what he is saying.

Dr. Kukielka performed my heart catheterization and subsequent follow-up appointments over the years he practiced in Marietta, Ohio. He is a compassionate doctor, with a vast medical knowledge, and willing to answer any questions you ask. I trusted him with my care because I knew he had my best medical interests and treatments as his priority. I was bitterly disappointed when I was told he had left Marietta and knew he would no longer be my cardiologist. I also have friends who Dr. Kukielka treated who have told me they regret Dr. Kukielka is no longer their doctor because he made them feel comfortable and confident they were getting the best medical cardiac treatment possible. If you choose Dr. Kukielka as your cardiologist, I'm confident you will not be disappointed with his professionalism and treatment.

Dr.K is extremely well trained and makes me feel very comfortable with my plan of care. He takes the time to listen to my questions and concerns, without making me feel rushed. My family and I feel very safe in his capabilities to ensure I am treated with the best of care. He has been an amazing addition to St. Francis and the community.

Outstanding cardiologist. Moved to the area from a large city where I had seen several other cardiologists. I've had heart trouble for 15 years. He is by far the best I've seen. Very skilled and patient. Excellent bedside manner.
