From time to time Channel 2 features Doctor Kandula. She is a dermatologist and I feel she is very good. I have known Dr. Kandula as a patient since she started practicing medicine in the St Louis area. I remember when she had her first child.

She has always impressed how important it is to watch for cancer of the skin. This stems from a former patient who waited too long and when the woman did come to see her it was too late. The woman died and Dr Kandula has always felt bad that she could not do anything.

Unfortunately Dr. Kandula has gone the way of many doctors today. She will no longer see anyone on social security. Some doctors will continue to see individuals who were their patients before becoming eligible for Social Security, some draw the line at 65.

Doctor Kandula is one of the latter. Through no fault of mine I am now seeing a different dermatologist.
