Dr Tuna is great! He assessed my finger issue and we mutually agreed to observe it for a bit vs doing surgery immediately. We will likely do the surgical repair later this year.

Dr. Tuna was able to see me the very next day and scheduled my surgery for the day after that. It was wonderful to have such an expert on my side during a stressful time. It was the first time I had ever visited his office or Kleinert & Kutz. I was very appreciative that he was able to see and treat me so expeditiously.
