I was not the patient, my husband was. Yes, he has been discharged and we are so happy. Dr. A said, if he needs her, just call. She is awesome, she always answered my questions and was so kind to me. She needs more stars and I am so thankful she is part of us now????????

Dr. Kunin has been my cardiologist for 7 yrs. He and his staff have always been caring, knowledgeable and accessible. He has given me no reason to want to or need to change who I see for my cardiac health.
