Patients share their experience with Dr. Kandil

“Dr. Kandl is amazing! My hyperthyroidism was cured by nano pulse ablation. Professional team and process; highly recommended...his NP Wendy, is exceptionally kind and informative!”

“I developed thyroid nodules. I was monitored by a doctor for over 6 years having an ultrasound done every year only to have them grow bigger and told I had to have my thyroid removed. Wanted a second opinion. I began to search for another doctor. Fast forward. Now a genetic testing done which showed a 90% risk of malignancy! God put Dr. Kandil in my path! I did a lot of research on him. Found he was who I needed to help me understand and navigate through what I was going through. Even though my situation could not be changed, I trusted his opinion and the education that he had to assure he would be the right Dr. for me whom I could trust! Now, the surgery. Dr. Kandil and his staff took really good care of me. It’s been four months since thyroidectomy surgery. I am healing really well and my scar looks great! I highly recommend Dr. Kandil. And he is a highly respected Godly man!
