Dr. Kundu is really one of a kind. Very reassuring and truly listens to his patients always, and especially during times of stress and concern. As a cancer patient who remains NED for almost 7 years because of his judgement and guidance, I am alive and thriving WITH my bladder intact! I owe it all to him because when I was first diagnosed, I wanted my bladder removed right away. It was Dr. Kundu who strongly advised me to try BCG. I'm thrilled he "pushed" for that instead of going directly to a radical cystectomy. I tell all my friends about him. Northwestern is lucky to have him and I am blessed to have him as my urologist.
