About Me

Dr. Kuk is board certified in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology and Cardiovascular Disease. After earning his medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, he completed his residency in Internal Medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center and fellowship training in both cardiovascular disease and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center. 

He enjoys caring for the Lynchburg community because it is full of wonderful folks that deserve the best cardiac electrophysiology care possible without having to travel beyond their backyard. When he is not providing care at the Heart and Vascular Institute, he likes to golf, ski, listen to live music, and most importantly loves spending time with his 4 daughters, 3 dogs, 2 turtledoves and 1 loving wife.

Ratings and comments are obtained from verified patient survey data collected on behalf of Centra by a third-party vendor, Press Ganey Associates, Inc. Centra uses Press Ganey’s MD satisfaction surveys to assess patients' experiences with healthcare providers and staff. In order to support full transparency, Centra ensures that the full range of patient comments, both positive and negative, are published.

Star ratings are displayed only for those physicians who participate in Centra’s patient experience survey program through Press Ganey and have received a minimum of 30 surveys responses.

Despite the drive toward full transparency, occasionally some comments cannot be published because they jeopardize the patient’s privacy, contain vulgar or offensive language, or contain libelous or defamatory content. In these rare instances, comment exclusion based on a strict set of exclusion criteria may be appropriate.
