In patients' words
"She was SO demeaning & condescending! Would not believe what my daughter was telling her... I'm hoping this review can be a word of caution to others to DO YOUR research before consenting to the first recommendation."
— LocalityBiz user review"Dr. Kubes is a wonderful Doctor. Very pleasant and a great listener as well."
— Healthgrades user review"I am not happy with the consultation I received... The PA performed tests for ACL and MCL damage and concluded nothing was wrong. Dr. Lundberg did not recommend imaging. I followed this advice and 2 weeks later insisted on getting an MRI. The MRI revealed I had a complete tear..."
