Dr. Kulber is one of a kind. The best doctor/surgeon I've ever encountered. I'd trust him with any and every medical issue, especially hands and faces!

Dr. Kulber is incredibly smart and experienced and knows what he's talking about. I appreciate the caution and thoroughness he showed in the evaluation of my problem and imaging done before making decisions about treatment. Far, far better than every other ortho doctor I've seen (and I've seen a lot)

Dr. Kulber does not care about the patient. He only cares about filling operating rooms. I have basically been left disabled and reached out to him with two in person visits and multiple portal messages and he has left me high and dry. I've never been treated so poorly as I have by this physician. I can not ever recommend him.

Dr kulber is the best hand surgeon in Los Angeles. He did a great job on my several years go and she continues with him and that's why I asked for him.

Dr. Kulber provided good information, but the appointment was very rushed. Fortunately, I had my questions memorized and was able to get them out, but it had to be rapid fire. His answers were helpful, but not detailed. Given the very long commute to Cedars to and from, and the long wait time, and the importance of this followup appointment, I felt as though I was receiving short shrift.

I think he needs ultrasound or more diagnostic tools. He just offered what everyone does steroid injections. I would expect the caliber of this position, would be in the diagnostic ultrasound or other visionary diagnostics And move the field forward. I am still in pain and no closer to a solution and I had surgery with this practitioner. I was sad. But perhaps I tested the limit of his knowledge Very disappointed because I put such faith in him. My fault.
