Dr. K is hands down the best doctor I have met with about my UPJ obstruction and hydronephrosis complications in 10 years! He listened first, explained what is happening to my kidney by showing me images and throughly discussed options to repair both issues and improve my quality of life! He also validated that the pain and discomfort I have been experiencing is due to my obstruction and hydronephrosis! I can't even put into words how amazing I felt after meeting with him!
