Dr. Kaufman was an absolute joy to work with, especially considering the circumstances. She was very pleasant during every visit and conversation I've had with her, as well as considerate. I was very nervous about my foot surgery in the beginning, but she explained everything so well that I was actually calm and looking forward to it more than ever before. I felt completely safe in her hands and am looking forward to being able to walk normal again. Although I wasn't able to watch my surgery, she made sure I got some pictures of the mass that haunted my foot for almost 4 years! I would highly recommend her over and over again!
