Dr. Kates was very professional and personable. He instilled great confidence in me for his recommendations to treat my condition. Dr. Kates explained my treatment options in detail along with the potential side effects of each. He also took time to get to know me and my family a little bit. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kates.

I went to Dr Kates for a second opinion and to get his advice on the best path forward for my diagnosis. I specifically chose him based on his extensive knowledge in this medical field because he is involved in finding better ways to treat my condition with less side effects. Additionally, based on is experience, I felt he could provide information on my path forward. He did not disappoint.

Excellent visit. I went here because I have bladder cancer and UPMC ran out of the treatment for 5 weeks. It finally came in after I made the appointment with Hopkins. Everyone at Hopkins was fantastic. All of my questions and concerns were answered. I was told that if I have more problems with UPMC that I would be accepted at Hopkins.
