  • Overview

    Cancer Focus:
    Breast Cancer, Ductal Carcinoma In Situ, Inflammatory Breast Cancer, Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Triple Negative Breast Cancer

    Dr. John Kiluk is a surgical oncologist specializing in breast cancer in The Center for Women’s Oncology at Moffitt Cancer Center.  He was voted by his patients and peers as Moffitt's Physician of the Year in 2011. From an early age, Dr. Kiluk accompanied his physician father on hospital rounds and learned the rewards of helping patients during a difficult time in their lives.  Now, as a Moffitt breast surgeon, he values the opportunity to guide and support patients through every step of the process, from initial diagnosis through recovery. Dr. Kiluk points out that Moffitt’s breast program is unique in that all of the specialists on the team are exclusively focused on treating patients with breast cancer.  This approach to patient care creates a high volume practice that offers a rewarding, collaborative environment for clinicians and an exceptional experience for patients. One of Dr. Kiluk’s areas of expertise is men with breast cancer.  Although less than one percent of all breast cancers affect men, as a specialist, Dr. Kiluk treats a significant number of patients with this type of cancer.  He understands the special concerns men have in confronting this health challenge.

  • Patient Comments

    Overall Satisfaction

    4.9

    289 patients rated this provider

    The Provider Rating is an average of all responses to specific care provider-related questions from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.

    Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.

    Comments

    Comments are gathered from specific care provider-related questions from our Patient Satisfaction Survey . The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

    We post both positive and negative comments from the surveys. We do not post comments that are libelous, slanderous, profane, irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate or may risk the privacy of our patients. A “[…]” in the comments below indicates de-identified patient information or comments that are unrelated to the patient’s experience with the visit to the provider, such as comments related to another provider, about the survey itself, or otherwise completely off-topic.

    Not all providers will have a star rating or comments. In order to ensure accuracy of our ratings, we only display ratings for providers who have a minimum of 30 completed from the previous 12 months.

    Learn more about our patient comments

    Provider Ratings and comments are gathered from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. If a provider does not have ratings or comments listed it can be for several reasons, including:

    • The provider has not yet received the minimum number of patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display. We require a minimum of 30 surveys before we post results to ensure that the rating is statistically reliable and a true reflection of patient satisfaction.
    • He or she may be a researcher or other type of provider that does not see patients.
    • The provider practices in a specialty or office that does not use the specified surveys currently used for these ratings.
