This wonderful doctor is caring, listens so well, is extremely positive and a fabulous surgeon. One could not ask for better care. I have always felt truly great and brilliant people in life have humility. Dr. Cusack has it all.

I transferred my care to Dr. Cusack after a frustrating experience with another hospital and specialists in properly diagnosing/treating my condition of tumors in the small intestine (duodenum). Dr. Cusack took over my care and promptly ordered tests/procedures to properly ascertain my condition and followed through personally at all stages to ensure the most effective surgical procedure. Dr. Cusack performed the high risk operation in removing the tumors successfully. His team was wonderful from start to finish. They all knew my medical history and did everything possible to give comprehensive/caring treatment. Great bedside manner and follow-up...and very courteous with my wife and family during after surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Cusack. You are truly in good hands.

Dr. Cusack has operated on me three times for the same recurrent condition. They rank high among the best medical exxperiences I have had. The staff at the surgical center was superb: friendly, caring. Each introduced themself and made comforting eye contact. Dr. Cusack is very prompt in scheduling surgery so treatment can get underway quickly.
