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.

Excellent Care
Dr. Kuhel is knowledgeable, well informed and communicates very well.

Compassionate,caring,w extreme attention todetail
Dr Kuhel has an amazingly calm and reassuring bedside manner . He tells it like it is , no sugar coating but in such a gentle way.He made time to see me at the end of the day unexpectedly due to Dr Marc Stein who knew how serious my situation was. Dr Kuhel did a biopsy at that first appointment and had my results 3 days later. He expedited scheduling my scans and my surgery all in a matter of 3 and a half weeks. He put together a top team of drs for me and was able to get all the cancer out of my body. I am forever grateful for the expeditious way in which he handled everything.

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Kuhel was my surgeon for oral cancer, and has been guiding me through my journey. From our very first meeting nearly two years ago, to this day. Dr. Kuhel has exhibited great knowledge and expertise along with patience and compassion, not always found together. I can't say enough good things about him and my experience.
