Reality is, if you are under Dr. Kahaleh and his advanced endoscopy teams care you are very sick. He goes above and beyond anything i've ever witnessed from any specialist EVER. Great endoscopist who really is passionate about all the patients under his care. Highly recommend !

Was told this doctor is the only one in the area That people come from Texas to have him do the procedure Was told it would be simple Minor pain Quick recovery Well Friday started the longest week ever My mother, after loosing almost 60 pounds, was sent to this group for a consult We arrive and they think they are doing a zoom visit Really zoom for an initial consult? So with his back to us the whole time, trying to figure out his new computer system, he rises and elbow bumps my mother and starts to walk out I ask, “are you going to explain the procedure?” From that moment I knew I should go to the city But we schedule at his leisure -since he had a vacation planned Another month and 10 more pounds lost 6 months of no solids for an 80 yr old very active woman We take the drive to Robert wood Surgery is a success!!! But then… 15 hours in an ER finding “free air around her kidney” -a 2 hour ambulance drive back to Robert Wood - a new ekg that came back bad (15 hours prior ekg was perfect) delayed the surgery until Thursday but nope - that was thanksgiving so Friday for a second surgery… at almost 5pm at night “I’ve done over 100 of these procedures and your the first to have complications” Second surgery didn’t work -more IV fluids now 7 days no food or water (too dangerous for her to swallow anything) on morphine for pain… they do the 3rd procedure 3rd time in less then 2 weeks put under anesthesia All to find out… he punctured her esophagus during the first procedure … the one no one else had a problem with Could it be because he was rushed - delayed to the OR by almost 2.5 hours ? He caused this No call from him /his staff/ his nurses Kept in the dark the whole time So clamps and leaks more clamps and hopefully no leaks This man could have killed my mother Take responsibility for causing damage and not catching it - releasing her and not returning calls from her about the pain

I would not let this man work on my dog. The worst bed side manner possible. No follow through, my 80 yr old mother in law just went through the poem surgery. During the initial consult had his back to her almost 90% of the time. She goes through the surgery there were complications no call no let’s try this we relied on the nursing staff to provide us with information. My wife thought that her mother were going to pass on her Bc of the lack of information provided by this man. He seems to think that he is Mr. Wonderful or the last Dr on the planet. We finally were able to speak to another Dr. That assisted us with information and calm my wife’s fears. Imagine someone that will leave someone out there to believe her mother is going to die. I strongly urge you to look elsewhere.

I had the POEMS procedure done back in June 2021 by Dr Kahaleh after year's of dealing with achalasia. It was the best decision made... As for me it was pain free... Was out of the hospital unless than 24 hours. I might be an exception but I was back eating a regular diet in less than2 weeks... No GERT. His entire team was professional. ... Caring and had my best interest at heart...thank you Doctor Kahaleh
