It was a pleasure to see Dr. Kulber again; for the last few years I have seen his assistant only except for my actual surgery dates.

I think Dr. Kulber is very knowledgeable and helpful with his therapy, but he acted like he was in a big hurry to get me in and out quickly, to the point where I had to force discussions about my issues.

Dr. Kulber was the only doctor that gave me hope of moving my hand/wrist. All other opinions were to fuse my wrist which was not ideal.

We have had great results, throughout the years. Even when the care required additional treatment, with wound care. We were sent to a specialist who took great care of our Mom.

Dr Kulber shows little investment in his office practice. Leaves the country every 3-4 weeks so continuity of care very poor. Often made poor medical decisions for or due to his traveling.
