This is a review I should've left 2 years ago. Dr. Keshishian helped with my anxiety that got a little worse (that I've always had)post surgery by always responding to me and seeing me for an office visit, regardless if I was just there the week before for the same thing LOL.. He is super attentive & respectful to any concerns you have and doesn't make you feel ridiculous for it! & being a person with anxiety, that helps so much more! Dr. Keshishian is a very great Dr!

The best surgeon and the medical professional that you can think of. 4 days ago he performed a complicated procedure, repaired my hiatal hernia that I was suffering from for the past 8 years. The Dr. spent at about 3 hrs to fix the damages caused from lapbad. I can’t thank him enough for taking me out of the high dosage acid reflux medication that I was on twice a day for 8 years. Obviously the recovery goes as it supposed to, but overall I feel amazing! Thank you, Doctor for saving my life!

Dr Keshishian is the best. That's all there is to it -- he is THE BEST. He understood my body's needs and set forth to correct the problem. His staff is the best also. Whenever I have emailed anyone -- even Dr Keshishian, I have received a prompt answer. The other thing I would like to point out, is that he does not rush through your visit with him. He makes sure you understand the point he is making.

2 years since my surgery, I gotta say Dr keshishian is a master at his craft. Every time I go in and have questions he's been able to share his knowledge and provide amazing guidance. I recommend him to everyone who asks.

Hello, there are a number of weight loss surgical procedures. We offer few of then in our office. In general weight loss surgical procedures have a much better long term success than non surgical options. Surgery however has its own risks, and different procedures have different risks. These all need to be discussed in details with your surgeon.

Does Dr. K do revisions from RnY to a DS, doing it laproscopicly

Hello, Thank you for your question. There are several factors that dictate whether a revision from RNY to DS can be done laparoscopically. A few factors are: your anatomy, your lung and cardiac function, if your original surgery was done lap or open and if you have had other operations since your weight loss surgery.
