Patient Reviews
Oct 02, 2018
Dr. Kafka is amazing. He has been very thoughtful about medical care for my two boys. They are completely comfortable with him and like going to their appointments. He explains things in detail and is always available to answer questions. I stay with Sharp mainly so that my kids can continue to see him.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
