Dr. Kehdy (and his resident) were wonderful. They actually listened to me and actually used their knowledge and experience to critically think about my care- that's pretty rare these days. Getting surgery is terrifying, but I feel confident with their decisions and with them performing the surgery.

Dr Kehdy and Dr Boudreaj sellers, provided took very very good care of my son who is special needs and I never be able to thank them enough, and even they commented that it was a joy taking care of Matthew because he was always so happy to see you in as long as you treated him good I mean he was always like" hi loves you too,". And Karen Dr Kedhy's assistant was fabulous they treated Matthew so kind, and I was so upset over the surgery and everything they explain to me they talk to me and they were really really caring and I can't thank them enough for that.
