What Patients Are Saying
From the moment the office door opened And Dr Kish entered and when I walked out of the building , I turned to the women behind the desk and told her I feel as if today I made a friend, that was the impression Dr Kish left me with . He showed a caring attitude, explained my condition , and lay terms anyone could understand, even gave me options to pick from. He spoke to me not over or around me , not only has he left me with a good impression , but he is highly respected by the staff he works with and also the hospital personal he works with , that saids a lot of his Character.
