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.

Dr. Kuzman is great.
I was greeted in a friendly manner. Promptly taken to an exam room and made comfortable. The doctor took a reasonable amount of time to understand my health status and made a treatment plan. He allowed time for questions and explained things clearly. Pleasant experience all around.

Yes, it was my first appointment and I understand I present a pretty complicated situation. He was fully knowledgeable on my past file -past cancer- and discussed several different options that he worked on ahead of time. Listened to our questions -answered them fully -I have complete confidence.

Being an oncologist and a hematologist is a plus.
They get me in on time or before. Dr Kuzman listens to me and ask questions as to how I’m doing and answers my questions.

He did his job…
As a follow up to breast lumpectomy and sentinel node removal, it was his sole job to recommend a estrogen blocking regimen. He didn’t really respond to other post-operative, post-cancer questions that weren’t in this realm, or even recommend who to talk to to get answers. He seemed a nice, intelligent fellow, though, and the office visit was smooth and prompt.
