Albeit that Dr. Kushner is knowledgeable in his field, his demeanor and delivery is very curt to almost abrupt. It was obvious Dr. Kushner was interested in getting through the pre appointment questionnaire that I completed prior to my appointment. And it was made very clear he only wanted one word (Yes or No)answers or very direct abbreviated answers to his questions.

Weight management is an emotional subject. Dr Kushner has perfected his bedside manner in that he respects what I'm going through but still gives it to me straight. He's great and I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
