STEVEN KUNKES, M.D.

As a cardiologist who has been in practice for decades, I feel that my primary responsibility is to fight illness, but also to educate and inform my patients. As part of complete cardiovascular care, I want them all to understand and feel comfortable with their diagnosis and treatment plans. I will always strive to answer patients’ concerns, keep them current with their laboratory and testing results, and offer them any new developments that become available.
