5/5

Dr. Kaufman is the best. I have had nothing but terrible experiences with healthcare in Santa Cruz until I was referred to Dr. Kaufman. He is Kind, smart and communicates very well (my family could take a hint). His staff are very flexible, helpful and always have a good joke. I am grateful I found him and thankful he is my doctor.
