Dr. Kulik’s Medical Philosophy

Good medicine is about trust; it’s about loyalty and relationships. My patients know that whatever it takes, my job is to be an advocate for them. Sometimes, this means listening for an hour (and at times, listening about a medical issue that has nothing to do with the eyes because all information is relevant when it comes to health); sometimes it means making a house call; and, sometimes it means getting on a telephone and fighting for a procedure (If this doesn’t work, it often means eating the Baked Ziti that was my payment for the procedure).
