"Dr. Schwartz is thorough, warm, and very concerned with his patients. He has made himself available to me at any time for follow up questions or concerns. He checked on me in the hospital after my surgery and takes a personal interest in my recovery."
"I haven't met Dr. Keshishian yet but I have my consult on July 17th. I have been extremely impressed with his staff! Of all the places I've contacted, Dr. K's office was the only one that answered my questions personally right away and didn't first require me to come to a seminar (sales pitch) or consult. I look forward to meeting the doctor and will update when I have.
7/20/01 See my personal comments for a more complete description of my experience. Briefly, I found Dr. Keshishian to be very friendly, sincere and attentive. His staff is wonderful. Everyone I've dealt with so far has been very nice and very helpful. He has an aftercare program that he stresses but is willing to work with out-of-town patients on alternatives. He addressed all the risks but seemed more interested in making sure I was making the right decision for my situation. Right now my overall rating would be a 9 out of 10.
11/25/01 Dr. Keshishian is the best doctor I've ever had for anything! He was there twice a day while I was in recovery and was always concerned about how I was feeling, if I was in any pain, if I had any questions, etc. On my 10 day follow up when I got my drains and staples removed, he was just a kind and attentive. When we were done, I asked if I could hug him. He hugged me back but was kind of shy and it was very sweet! My overall rating is now a 10 for Dr. K and his staff! They've been there for me over the Thanksgiving holiday when I had even the stupidist questions. And as for bedside manner compared to surgical competence, I insist on BOTH! I will never again put up with a rude or unkind physician after having experienced the best!"
