Dr. Boris W Kuvshinoff is one of the best surgeons at Roswell Park. My case was complicated but Dr. Kuvshinoff figured out what the problem was and saved my life. He is the most attentive, patient and caring doctor I've met to be a surgeon.

Dr. Kuvshinoff was quickly able to diagnose my pancreatic cancer and performed a "Whipple" operation within a couple of days. Six months later I am still recovering very slowly. But without Dr. Kuvshinoff I would most likely be dead. The efforts by his entire team were outstanding.
