What Our Patients Say
unser
Sally S.
“In 2009, a tumor was discovered on my liver. That is when I met Dr Kukunoor. He thoroughly explained everything, listened to my concerns and fears, gave me positive, caring support throughout treatment and in the following years. I saw him recently for my 10 year cancer free appointment! He rejoiced with me. I can’t say enough great things about this wonderful, caring doctor.”

“Dr. Kukunoor has been my dad’s Cancer Dr. for over 15 years or so. Dr. K helped my dad beat Colon Cancer and then Dr. K helped him beat Prostate Cancer and just recently, Dr. K helped him beat a rare Melanoma Cancer under his thumb. Dr. K knows what he is doing and has the greatest bedside manner. He will spend time with you answering your questions and even repeating himself without irritation or annoyance.”
