I wish I was able to get an earlier appointment for this treatment. From the time I began seeing a doctor for this problem, it took almost 1 1/2 years to finally getting the treatment that worked.

Dr. Tulikangas is that rare combination of great expertise as a surgeon and a wonderful listener and problem solver. His bed side manner is 10 out of 10. He explains his thinking and all potential procedures with clarity and compassion and entertains all and every question you might have for him. He is easy to talk to and works hard to find solutions to deal with your concerns as a patient. He is probably one of my favorite doctors! Highly recommend.

I was so fortunate to find Dr. T. He performed a surgery that fixed decades of discomfort. If there is a perfect doctor, he is it. Not only is he knowledgeable and skilled, he is very kind, and has a sense of humor. He held my hand as I went under the anesthesia. What is more reassuring and compassinate than that? He also personally phoned the next day. Not a nurse, him! Thank you Dr. T.
