Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding Person as well as Surgeon
Dr. Kahan is a gentle, sweet, caring doctor who takes time to make sure that everything he does is painless as possible. I had two cyst removed and both were done without pain and healing nicely. He takes time to go over each procedure and answer any questions that you may have so that you feel comfortable going into the procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Kahan.

I saw Doctor Kahan for minor surgery to deal with sebaceous cyst. There was very little waiting involved. He was very warm and courteous and business-like at the same time.

I had a terrible visit with Dr. Kahan. He began belittling me from the minute he walked through the door. He completely disregarded my medical history and previous treatment. He spoke as though he couldn't believe any other doctor had ever taken my symptoms seriously and said he couldn't even think of anyone to recommend who would possibly consider giving me a second opinion. I absolutely would not recommend seeing him. My visit with him was a complete waste of time.

Dr Kahan has my vote for #1 surgeon. He has it all. He is professional, personable. He explains what, why and how with no sugarcoat. He is available for any reason post-procedure....and his ‘trainee’Morgan is as pleasant and professional and learning from the best...thank you Dr Kahan and Morgan....Christine M

Dr. Kahan has a special gift to connect with his patients I think. At least that’s how I felt. He sticks to science and explains things in plain English and adds his sense of humor to it. I felt extremely safe with him.

Great staff, and Dr. Kahan is an expert, kind, warm doctor and while it is not ideal to have to see him, it's a joy that it is HIM you're seeing in uncomfortable times. He's the best kind of doctor.
