    During a prior appointment he caught my Edema and resulted in cardiac treatment. At this visit he noted my red eyes and suggested treatments for allergies. His concern far exceeds my cancer which he has managed with appreciated success.

    Dr. Kohli is proficient, competent and personable. He controlled my stage 4 prostate cancer with androgen therapy. Most people I now meet have no idea that I have this (or any) disease.
