Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The Best Doctor I Ever Had
Dr. Kukar saved my life. I was diagnosed with Congested Heart Failure in 2008 while I resided in Georgia. I was on medication and hospitalized three times over the course of six years. I relocated to New York in 2014 and was seen by Dr. Kukar at the Floating Hospital. He diagnosed me with an Aortic Aneurysm. I was referred to a surgent, the surgery was performed and I no longer have Congested Heart Failure and I have been see Dr. Kukar for 10 years. His clinics our very clean at all of his locations and the the staff is wonderful as well. Dr. Kukar saved my life.

The best male doctor I’ve seen in a while!
Dr. Kukar and his staff were all rather exceptional! The doctor was especially validating and ordered thorough screenings to investigate my symptoms. He explained everything to me without a drop of condescension (something I am sensitive to, due to past experiences with other providers) and was open to my input. We even joked around a bit at certain points; nice guy! Most importantly, though, I left feeling confident in the quality of my care.

Kafkaesque experience
i went for a cardiac catherterization with a doctor Kukar. I awoke on a gurney being told by a nurse I could not leave the hospital. I needed an immediate bypass and i could die at any second. The doctor never came to see me to tell me what he found that was so life threatning that i had to be remanded in the hospital for nearly a week being poked and prodded at all hours of the night. Only when i grabbed my clothes and got ready to leave did an angry doctor and his team come and give me a brief explanation of what was going on with my heart. By the way, the time i was in the hospital not once did i have any issues whatsoever. It was nonesense. I have still never heard from doctor kukar despite having me remanded to the hopital because i could die at any second. I guess he expects me to make an appointment and pay him for a service that should've been rendered months ago.

Successful intervention by Dr Kukar at Mt Sinai
Dr. Kukar: I want to express my deepest appreciation and admiration for your professionalism during stenting procedure on my heart. So, because you won my trust, I didn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend you to my wife who, for a long time needed an angioplasty, which at this moment in time was already successfully performed by you. I take this opportunity to also thank your nursing stuff that was incredible kind and helpful. All the best to you and your family Alex Anderson

Stent procedure at Mt Sinai Hospital
- [ ] Dr Atul Kukar, you are my real hero, you did something incredible. Thank you doctor Kukar and your team for being able to place a stent at the location where other doctors were unable to do it. To me Dr Kukar has been one of the best I've come across and I highly recommend him without hesitation to anyone.

Very caring, very patient, understands and talks Spanish as well which helps his diverse patients at the Lenox Hill Hospital of Northwell. Takes his time to explain all in details. Does all required testing if you have palpitations, shortness of breath, or family history of heart disease. Gracias Doctor!!
