"My first impression of Dr. Katkhouda was that he seemed a little cold. He was also really tough during his consultation, but he also warned me that he was going to be really tough. I have had NO contact with him since my consultation, however, everything has preceded quickly and without any snags
He is a great surgeon, but I haven't had enough contact with him for my opinion to change.
I have dealt mainly with Anna, who works for Dr. Katkhouda. She seems very busy, and I usually call her for stuff, not the other way around. I believe if I had not called for pre-op tests, or for a surgery date, that I would still be waiting. From Everything I have heard, the Dr. is really dedicated to this type of surgery and he is good. I understand that he likes to do the surgery first thing in the morning and that he and his staff are very attentive.
I suppose I will have more to post after the surgery though :)
I had my first post-op with my doctor, and I have to say he is growing on me! My doctor is a GREAT surgeon, extremely skilled. That was and is important to me. If you are the kind of person that prefers alot of contact with your doctor, or someone with that Dr. Welby feel, he may not be for you, but I thought he was great.
Sure enough my opinion has changed. I love my doctor, No he isn't Dr. Welby, but he really cares about his patients and his work. He is committed to this surgery and his patients and their post-op care. I am very happy with the quality of care I have received.
