Es mi doctor primario y me atiende de la mejor manera posible ¿. Es muy acertado en los comentarios y en las medicinas
First visit I have spent the last two years dealing with only the lung transplant team. It was great hearing another's opinion about my health. Could not ask for a better primary caregiver
Seen Dr K for many years now and he knows pretty well about what I need with the right treatment.
Muy buena experiencia, el Dr Thomas, es muy buen médico, gracias a sus cuidados estoy bastante bien por mi diabetes y la alta tensión gracias a este buen Doctor y su buena atención me siento bastante bien, gracias a Dios por ponerme en manos de este buen Doctor
Shared good knowledge with me
He is a wonderful Doctor, he explains things so you understand what is going on with your body.
Doctor K comes across as reserved. He doesn't make me think he enjoys being a doctor. I'm sure he's extremely knowledgable but he seems like he doesn't really care and want to provide me care. Knowledgeable, professional doctor, but not very ¿happy¿ doctor.
He's so simple, submissive and asking/checking health in complete systematically. He's so knowledgeable doctor as he correctly understands what treatment we need. This is first meet by me. But he and his approach has given me strongly I can continue my treatment with him and follow his guidance.
Very informed and helpful.
