Dr. Kulkarni is an excellent doctor. He cares about you. He gives you what he's doing and how he explains how the medication will work. And it's better for you if you make a change. And I'm okay with that. I believe in this man. above his consideration. He even wheeled me out in the wheelchair out of the office to the Oregon Mexican appointments. And that's going an extra mile. He's a good doctor. And I really like and enjoy having him. I'm confident that he can do what he That's so good.
