I told him about some minor chest pain I had been experiencing - that I had attributed to stress - and wasn’t really worried about. He was concerned and sent me for tests on my heart - wouldn’t take no for an answer. Thank god! My main coronary artery was 99% blocked and required surgery. Does he have the warmest personality and will he ever win an award for bedside manner? No. Is he an excellent doctor that will challenge you and work hard to keep you healthy? You bet.

This doctor has a horrible bedside manner and is unprofessional. Rather than listening and assessing my problem, he seemed more intent on berating me for canceling my previous year physicals. His recommendation was to schedule an appointment with my PCP (she was not available at the time) to review my symptoms. Umm...shouldn't that have been his job during our appointment?!

"Dr. K" as my kids call him, is great. He is realistic, professional, and tells us the exact truth and provides practical advice, refusing to medicate problems away. He listens very well, and gives advice only when there is evidence to support its efficacy. he moved to MGH's spot in the North End recently, and we followed him.

Had an appointment at 3 PM and got stuck in traffic so we'd get there 5 minutes late. Called office and was told that Dr. wouldn't see us because he wanted to leave early instead! SHOCKING experience for a person coming to MASS. GENERAL. I can imagine how much time he must spend with his patients-will NOT see this one again!!Dr. wouldn't see us after driving 2 hours for appointment!!!

Doctor did not seem to care. Showed little empathy for my situation. Told me he was "just" seeing me on an "emergency" basis. He requested no follow-up visit with me. BAD vibes.
