Patient verified via Press Ganey

Dr. Kenneth Bescak is a phenomenal doctor - the kind I hoped still existed. He truly listens to his patients and takes the time to explain the workings of the heart and the role of cholesterol in clear, understandable terms. He welcomes patient input and was the first physician I've ever seen who asked in detail about my nutrition and exercise habits. His depth of knowledge as one of the most renowned lipid specialists in the Western United States is extraordinary. I feel genuinely fortunate, privileged, and honored to be his patient.
