Excellent doctor. I have put my complete trust in him for my future heath care. His staff puts you at ease and has a genuine concern for their patients. Michelle is an Angel. Even old warriors get nervous sometimes but I am in good hands.

After suffering for a year with chronic groin pain that went undiagnosed by 5 doctors/specialists and multiple tests, Dr. Kaufman was recommended by a NY City surgeon who indicated he had heard “terrific things” about him. On the first visit Dr. Kaufman confirmed an inguinal hernia diagnosis which he addressed with surgery just three weeks…

David Weintraub

Excellent patient care. Dr. Kaufman was very caring during pre-surgery, answering all questions not making me feel pressured. When I returned to the office for a quick question without an appointment, the doctor gave me his time. The scarring from the surgery was minimal and Dr. Kaufman did comprehensive follow-ups. His staff is very personable…
