Dr. Keshishian is great! What a wonderful surgeon and what a wonderful person. My surgery could not have been anymore uneventful. Recovery was fast and easy. His staff was fantastic and were always quick and answer my questions. The hospital was nice as well, with plenty of nurses to help with whatever you need. I would recommend Dr. Keshishian to anyone interested in bariatric surgery.
Dr. Keshishian is a healing angel. I cannot begin to describe the talent and true goodness of this man. He literally gave me one of the keys to creating the life I have always dreamed of. I will be forever grateful to him.rnrnHis staff is superb. Even though they are very busy, they always make time to support me in my healing process. rnrnBeing an out of state patient has its drawbacks. I don't see Dr. Keshishian as often as I would like. However, he has been super about talking to me on the phone, when I have questions.rnrnI give Dr. Keshishian a 100 out of 10. He is an amazing doctor!rn
Dr. Keshishian knows his stuff about the Duodenal Switch Surgery because it is the only one he does as for wls goes. He is a caring person and his office staff is willing to help in anyway. He stresses aftercare and he has a structured aftercare program. He explained the risks of the surgery well.rnI would rate Dr. K a 10. Both surgical competence and beside manner is great.
I'm finally done with all the pre-op requirements and I am now waiting for them to call and let me know that I got the go ahead from insurance. I was prepared over a month ago and would really like to get a date set.rnI live in Los Angeles and having surgery at Verdugo Hills would be more convenient, but I'm wondering if Delano would be better equipped and more bariatric patient friendly!!!!!rnAnyone have any information about their experience at Verdugo Hills Hospital they could share? I'm not a hospital person, and don't need to be ridiculed because of my choice to have this surgery.
Dr. Keshishian is a fine surgeon. He did a wonderful job working on my guts, and for this I am extremely grateful.
It is always such a pleasure to see him, as he makes me feel at ease. Every visit is delightful, though I can't say I am happy with the time spent in the waiting room.
I cannot recommend Dr. Keshishian enough to anybody looking to have the Duodenal Switch. You won't regret choosing him!
I just recently had surgery with Dr. K.rnBoth of my parents had the DS surgery with Dr. K - I guess its kindof a family thing.rnrnWe all love him. Just every aspect of the surgery and his practice is awesome. From him, being very down to earth and professional and him ensuring that you're as comfortable as possible (before and after the surgery). To his office ladies who are very friendly and personable and efficient who get things done! rnrnEverything has gone so smoothly it has been such a blessing. We're from Phoenix, people travel to have him. And theres a reason - because hes WORTH IT!
The most incredibly wonderful caring concerned and positive physician you could ever have!!! I wish all physicians I ever have could have the ethics, professionalism, bedside manner, and more importantly the knowledge of being human and compassionate to their patients such as Dr. K is to alllll of his patients. rnrnHe's simply put, the best choice I ever made in health care decision in my life. rnrnThank you Dr. K!!!rnrnHuggggs!rnrn
I absolutely love my surgeon. I met him up in Ukiah, Ca which is about an hour north from where I live. It was raining hard down here and it was snowing up there. Dr.K was just ab it behind as his flight had got in late due to bad weather. It was not a problem. I am so confident in this surgeon and I am so at ease with all of this. His staff is wonderful and they have had the DS by him as well and are doing fabulous! The office staff is wonderful, they all are from Delano and came up with him and are very professional, kind and caring. They will answer any question you have and make sure you understand what it is you are getting yourself in to. I can't wait to get my DS!
