This is the best Dr of all my team during my cancer experience. He took the time to make me feel confident that I was going to be ok. When I was in a bad mood or scared he was always there to make me feel better. He's definitely my favorite Dr of all.

Dr Kaufman was competent. I wish he had better prepared me for what could happen with using the ear drops recommended to soften the wax in my ears. I had not anticipated the pain I experienced using the drops nor not bring able to hear well out of that ear for the 3 weeks was using the drops.
