5.0 star star star star starDr. Kuzel demonstrated a genuine concern for my situation and he adjusted his entire schedule to see me. He thoughtfully did this because I was very anxious about delaying my next appointment to make progress with my cancer treatment.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Kuzel was already quite familiar with my medical history by the time he walked in the door. Outstanding preparation on his part. That gave me a lot of confidence that I was talking to the right person. What also impressed me was the fact that he was clearly interested in treating the person first (me) first and foremost and not just the disease. He took the time to discuss not just life expectancy, but also quality of life issues related to different treatment options. I would highly recommend Dr. Kuzel for patients facing recurrent prostate cancer.
