Dr. Kukay Is simply the best pediatrician, and our whole family loves him as he displays genuine care for us all, even as parents. He and my husband enjoy a short visit each time as we share similar humor and values, and our kids realize what a gift he is to us as a family for their care and to the Cleveland Clinic as a whole. We''ll be sad not to see him regularly someday when our youngest turns 18. He''s a blessing.
