    Dr Kwok and his staff are always personable and I never feel like I'm being annoying or that my concerns are unfounded.

    Dr Kwok was absolutely amazing. He answered all my questions and was thorough. He listened, gave answers I understood. I am so lucky to have him for my doctor.

    Dr. Kwok is simply amazing. I could not have asked for better. I feel very blessed to have been assigned to him and Dr. Brownson when I was referred to Huntsman. Can not say enough good about them both. Dr. Kwok seems to really understand, listen to my priorities, and he seems to genuinely care. I trust him. Highest praise.
