"Worst doctor and experience of all time. Back in 2006, Dr. Kindler and the U of C staff kept my dad waiting all day to see her. She never bothered to meet with my dad. Dr. Kindler assigned another doctor. Don’t go to U of C and don’t ever enroll in any of the mesothelioma experimental programs. It put my dad in worse than when he started. U of C does not believe in patient care."
