" Want to start by saying how very much I appreciate Dr. K and how much he cares for his patients. I first spoke with him in Mid July and we discussed my options. Once I got in contact with his office I was given all the information I needed for pre op testing and I was given a surgery date of August 10. I couldn't believe how fast it all came together. Primarily because I was self pay and didn't have to fight my insurance company. I got my pre op labs and testing done and was very quickly on the road to California. I met with Dr. Keshishian in person on Monday Aug 8, registered with the hospital on Aug 9, and had my DS on August 10. My first day or two in the hospital is very hazy for me due to meds and surgery and whatnot. Dr. K insists that his patients have private rooms, so I did not have to worry about disturbing another patient and as a bonus, the room had two beds so they allowed my husband to sleep at the hospital in the second bed so that he could be with me around the clock. I had a very brief bout of pancreatitis, which was mostly irritating in that it extended my stay and the amount of time I had to be on the IV. The nurses at the hospital were amazing and very helpful. I was walking every two hours or so by day two and slowly increasing the number of laps I could do around the nursing station. Dr. K came to see me every day and really listened to my concerns and questions. He also hit it off with my husband so there was a fair amount of geeking out between the two of them while I just smiled and nodded, which was good for the husband who was pretty much bored to tears.
The whole point here is that I cannot recommend a surgeon higher than Dr. K. His staff is just amazing, the level of care and compassion his patients recieve in the hospital is nothing short of miraculous, and his willingness to answer email questions and concerns since I left the area has been very comforting.
Thanks, Dr. K! "
