Dr. Keshishian is a true professional. He is sensitive and quite concerned that his patients know what they are facing. He takes great pains to find out if you know the risks and if you really know what your alternatives are. He especially grills you on your knowledge of complications.rnrnHis bedside manner is outstanding as is his entire office staff. The office handles things promptly and efficiently. All questions and concerns are answered immediately. They are accessible by phone during office hours for preops. Requests for insurance approval go in at warp speed after the consult. rnrnDee or Dawn provide patient education at the consult and you have to take a test. They give you a comprehensive binder and a homework packet to fill out and return before surgery. Aftercare... [Click here for more] and followup is given special emphasis.rnrnDr. K is young but he has performed a multitude of surgeries and is now a true veteran. I am fortunate to have a person of his skills and experience! rnrnThe only downside is that the summer climate in Delano is a bit on the warm side.rnrnI wouldn't even consider a surgeon who does not have a great track record, an extremely competent team, and excellent skills and training. His experience and professionalism are unequaled. His bedside manner is the best that I have seen!rnrn9/21/01 - 3 weeks post op - Dr. K is a fantastic, caring professional. He was completely prepared and ready for whatever might occur in my surgery. The thoroughness of this preparation and the precautions that he takes makes recovery a relative breeze, considering the seriousness of the procedure. The hospital staff at DRMC are top notch. rnrn10/13/01 - Went for my 1 mo. followup last week and everything was AOK. Dr. K is a master at aftercare, which is super important. My several little post-op "challenges" were handled competently and caringly. He is also accessible when you need him. That, unfortunately, does not seem to be universal among weight loss surgeons. He is the best! rnrn12/17/2009 Just went to Dr/ K's 10th Anniversary celebration. Now he's done somewhere around 1500 procedures. There were over 7000 lbs. lost in the room that night. Some things change - and for the best. Now Dr. K's patients have the option of surgery in Delano (still a very good choice, given the fact that the staff now has ten years experience in dealing with the morbidly obese patient. Today, though, there is another choice - Verdugo Hills Hospital just north of downtown Los Angeles. This is a great convenience, too for patients living in Southern California who don't have the time to travel to Delano for follow up visits. There's a downside, though as all the old-timers still come to the meetings in Delano and it is great to see them now and then.rnrnI just read the "question" at the bottom of the text box where the web says that 100% positive reviews are less informative or suspect. Baloney! When you're dealing with the top-notch crew, they deserve a 100% top-notch rating. rnrnThis surgery is still what I view as the very best thing that I ever did for myself. I have a life, a great life. These people are the ones who gave it to me.

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. Posted on 08/26/2009 |

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 Posted on 06/23/2009 |

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. Posted on 12/25/2008 |

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! Posted on 10/30/2008 |

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! Posted on 07/12/2008 |

I met with the surgeon the first time recently, and really liked him, and felt very confident he was the one to do my surgery. He took his time, and answered my questions. Posted on 07/08/2008 |
