University Hospitals Hospital
Dr. Khaitan is very thorough and takes every precaution to ensure that her patients succeed before and after surgery. She takes a very candid approach in educating her patients about bariatric surgery and makes it clear that surgery is a tool. Dr. Khaitan is adamant that each patient's success depends on their individual efforts. Her team is very supportive and knowledgeable as well. I definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a qualified and thorough surgeon.
Deciding to have weight loss surgery is life changing. It took many years of failed dieting attempts, health problems and struggles with daily activities of life- such as painting my toe nails or sitting in a chair with arm handles before I explored weight loss surgery for myself. As a University Hospitals employee, I was connected with Dr. Leena Khaitan for an initial evaluation for weight loss surgery. From my very first appointment with Dr. Khaitan until today 2 years later- Dr. Khaitan has continued to treat me with kindness, compassion and quality physician/ surgeon care. It has not been an easy journey to loose the weight, although certainly life-changing and rewarding. Dr. Khaitan and her dedicated team of insurance specialists, dieticians and nurses have been right there with me on this journey. It is very apparent that her and the Bariatric team and University Hospitals are very dedicated to their patients and their careers. This team and program has impacted me personally and professionally so much that I now have dedicated my career to this very Bariatric Surgery Department and University Case Medical Center as one of the Nurse Coordinator.
This surgery has given me the confidence and health to truly start living a life. Having a surgeon such as Dr. Khaitan and her dedicated team makes a treamendous impact on overall success of weight loss surgery!
Dr. Khaitan performed my gastric bypass surgery in July of 2012. I have since lost approx 115lbs. I have been given a new lease on life and couldn't be happier with the decision I made. Dr. Khaitan and her team were so compassionate and warm that I felt support every step of the way. I loved her and the program so much that I've since become her Clinical Nurse Coordinator for Bariatric Surgery at University Hospital's Geauga Medical Center. We have also welcomed Dr. Breitman to our group and I couldn't be happier or more proud to work with such an amazing team of medical professionals! Thank you, Dr. Khaitan!
I was very nervous and scared when I first went into get my consultation.... I only had 1,000,001 questions about what was going on what was happening and what was going to happen.... Jamie was very patient and help answer all of my questions.... Every time I have a question or send an email I get a very quick response... Everyone I dealt with at University hospitals in Chardon was amazing.... This surgery helped save my life and begin a brand-new one.... It's the best decision I've ever made I only wish I would've started years ago.... Big thank you to Jamie and the staff at UH
Jamie was unbelievably easy to work with. I am a nurse and had 100's of questions which generated at least monthly and sometimes weekly e-mails to Jamie as I struggled with my decision to have surgery. (It took me over a year). Jamie was unbelievably patient with me and her replies were usually within minutes of the time I sent my e-mail. She was and still is so supportive of this process and you can tell that she genuinely cares for patients and wants them to succeed. She is AMAZING!!
Jamie is a Godsend! She made a difficult time/decision in my life so much easier to deal with. Jamie was only an email away and it was same day response in most all correspondence. Even on the days I felt like I was "being annoying" with all my questions, she always made me feel like top priority and answered even my dumbest question sincerely. I appreciate her more than she will ever know and I am certain any person that is fortunate enough to have her help them on their journey will be better off because of her!
