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.

Not all heroes wear capes. They also wear scrubs.
Dr Kuechle removed a very large Chondrosarcoma from my dominant arm. He did a brilliant job and I could not be more pleased. I found him to be thorough and concerned for my wellbeing. I would recommend him in a heartbeat and I am so grateful to him and the OR team. Thanks so much!!

When every other orthopedic doctor told me there was nothing more they can do for my hip. Dr Kuechle said there was. I go in for surgery today. Hoping this fixes it so I can walk pain free.

Had surgery last august to rebuild my pelvis and hip replacement. Was doing pretty good even driving walking on a quad . On April 16 heard a loud pop and the pain was awful. I have metastatic renal. Carcinoma. Bone cancer in my right hip .my on oncologist ordered a ct scan discovered my hip is fractured. My doctor put a call out to dr kuechle on or about may 16 . No reply to this phone call. I more then likely would not do surgery but would like to hear options. Very disheartening.

Dr Kuechle was very concerned about my cancer and how we were going to proceed with all the blood work has been. He is very confident in his views and what he recommends.

Dismissve, condescending, and rude. He talked over me and completely ignored my complaints. His bedside manner was completely unprofessional and inappropriate. I saw another dr before him and surely wish he hadnt been replaced by this arrogant ignorant man. I left his office feeling belittled and ignored as if I was making everything up when I have imaging and a chronic history to back up my complaints. Ive never been so upset leaving a physician appointment. And im no dummy, ive been a critical care nurse for 11 years so I know when im being ignored and dismissed. Hes a terrible dr.

I have seen Dr. Kuechle twice since I broke my tibia on December 5. He has been clear in his instructions and in my prognosis. The staff at his office has been helpful in providing referrals for Visiting Nurses and a parking permit. He is very reassuring.

Dr. Kuechle is a very knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly physician. I met him in June 2019 at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. He was my oncologist. I am an amputee. Unknown to me at the time, he was an orthopedic surgeon as well. He explained how he would revise my tibia so I could put my prosthesis back on and walk again. I am glad I had him do my surgery. He was most professional and made sure I understood everything he was going to do for me. I am still healing, but the stump looks great and I look forward to walking again. I would highly recommend him for both orthopedic and oncology medicines. He is an asset to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
