"Not only a great surgeon, but a very nice man. He really listenened to what I wanted. He also refused to rush to do all surgeries at once which in hindsight I now know was the right thing to do. I was kind of upset at the time having read where a lot of people have all their procedures at once. He knew that wouldn't work for me and I'm glad he was able to convince me to do the right thing!

"My surgeon was Dr. Katkhouda at the USC Medical Center. He is the surgeon that my HMO (PacifiCare) works with, so I had no choice. It turns out he is a brilliant surgeon, so I lucked out. I actually heard him before I met him. He was in the next room doing a consult. He left the door open & I listened. Why not? You can't have enough information!LOL He ended up turning the patient away because he said he needed a more radical surgery than the RNY. My first "face to face" meeting with him was tense. He is not exactly the lovable type and does not suffer fools gladly. And while I don't believe I am a fool, he was not impressed with me. On one future meeting with him he actually raised his voice to me. However, after surgery he seemed a different guy. He actually held my cheek in his hand and told me how happy he was for me. He addressed everything he should of in my consult. Risks, benefits, aftercare. His staff is OVERWORKED!!! It takes forever to get a real live person on the phone and forget about scheduling a surgery date any time this year! DR. K: surgical competence: 10/10 bedside manne: 7.5/10"
