After a very difficult year of trying to find a surgeon for my pildonial cyst I found Dr. Kurchin. I had such a great experience with it bring my first surgery he was very understanding and answered any questions we had with a smile and compassion. Now I'm going on less than 3 months after the surgery I'm almost healed completely and I would highly recommend him

This doctor is a top notch surgeon. He's not only very bright, but caring and compassionate. One of the few that takes the time to listen and treat a patient as one would if they were family.He is also very thorough, doesn't take chances.
