When I first meet Dr. Kane Jr. He has a very good bedside manner. I am very happy that he gave me my life back. I am very happy that I had the RNY Surgery.

My first impression of Dr Kane was he was very professional and I was kind of intimidated by him. As I got to know him he's very personable and really cares . I felt so comfortable around him . He's got a great sense of humor and not bad on the eyes either. His office staff are great also. I am so glad I chose him to do my surgery and always look forward to my visits with him. I would definately recommend him to anyone thinking of having the surgery ! He's the best !

My first impression of Dr. Kane was what a caring man he is. He looked me in the eyes and told me what it was going to take to be able to get to the point that I could have my weight loss surgery. I grew to trust him more each time I saw him or his staff. Everyone in the office was extremely encouraging and the hospital staff at Alexian Brothers in Elk Grove Village Illinois are awesome. They all emphasize aftercare which I feel is extremely crucial. I had to go back into the hospital in July of 07 and have an internal hernia repaired. I was a sick little girl and had to have an NG tube placed. Dr. Guske who is one of Dr. Kane's associates placed the tube and was very gentle and caring with me. I moved to Springfield Missouri about 5 months after my surgery and I have had a hard time connecting and keeping up with my aftercare here. I now see Dr. Christopher Edwards and his staff is great too. Both are Centers of Excellence and I would trust them with my life again if need be.

Dr. Kane is very personable. He asks the hard questions...His office staff were very friendly and helpful, and treated me with repect. Dr. Kane addressed the risks involved. Surgical competence is definitely the most important attribute, if he/she has a great bedside manner...then that is great!

Dr. Kane seems very knowledgeable and comitted to the process. He is kind and very calming. He answerd all my questions. BEST of all, He took excellent care of my husband when he had surgery!rnrnThe actual doctor's/surgical office staff is very nice, efficient, and helpful. Wait times, are not too bad. Nice, clean office-lots to read while you wait. Very professional.rnrnThe Kane Center staff is a little different. I did NOT like the way I was treated there when I went for the psycological eval. They were VERY rude and argumentative. They INSISTED that I had to use their psych Dr. and not one that was in-network for my plan. That resulted in a high out of network deductible for both my husband and I! ($950.00)rnrnAfter care seems good. They have support groups every weekend. It is real comforting to be around others going through the same thing.rnI have not had surgery yet, will be able to update afterwards.rnrnWell it is the afterwards folks! I am doing well. BIG thanks to Dr. Kane and Dr. Guske and ALL the staff at the hospital. Things went well and I am on the mend.rnrnI would DEFINITELY reccomend Dr. Kane!

I have know Dr. Kane Jr and also his dad, I chose Dr. Kane Jr because 9 years ago he and his dad performed a gastroplasty on me, so I felt that only he would know what to do once he got inside my stomach. He has a great bedside manner and I feel is a real caring and compassionate surgeon. His associate that assisted him in the surgery, Dr. Wallace was nice also. But I feel is still learning. I feel that the office has expanded almost too much. Alot of times I was on hold for a long time, although I have to say, when I had questions for the nurse, the message was relayed rather quickly and I was called back within a couple of hours!! Now that's impressive.!!!

I did not have weight loss surgery. My colon ruptured and it just so happened that Dr. Kane Jr. performed my emergency surgery. One word: wonderful. He is absolutely fantastic to talk to and cares a lot about his patients. In addition, it is easy to see that he is very knowledgable about his discipline. However, there was one thing that I had an issue with: his office is so busy that you often wait for a long period of time before seeing him. Anyhow, I would recommend him to anyone!
