"I really love this place. Dr. Kucine is an amazing doctor, she has such a great passion for her patients and very caring along with understanding. She will take her time to understand you and gives you the best solution that she can. If I could, I would give her a 10/10 rating!!!"
"Dr Kucine is extremely knowledgeable and incredibly compassionate. She explained things in a very understandable manner. She answered all our questions and made sure that we understood the next steps in our child’s care. As a parent, Dr Kucine was much more than I ever expected. I am relieved that she is our child’s physician. And as a physician myself, I can assure you that there aren’t many others around like her."
