Patient Reviews
Sep 03, 2018
Dr. Kontra is absolutely brilliant. He saved my life when I had septic bacteremia secondary to gallstones. Dr. Kontra and the entire team at Lancaster General Hospital were unbelievably attentive, thorough, competent, caring and professional. Bar none, Dr. Kontra is the best physician I have ever encountered in my 63 years.
