    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    Dr. "K" is an exceptional physician. I pride myself on being one of the best fighter pilots to have represented our country with over 10,000 flight hours. Dr. "K" is the finest cardiologist I have ever met. He listens, provides options and when asked, gives you his personal opinion as to what he would do if he were you. When you have heart issues like I do, you want your treating physician to skilled and knowledgeable but most of all you want to know all of your options. I came away from my appointment with a clear understanding of my treatment plan. I felt that I was in control. If you need to see and electro physiologist, you want Dr "K" leading your treatment team.
