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.

I was actually stunned by the short wait times in both the waiting room and in the exam room. It might have been a fluke, of course, but based on my times in other waiting rooms it was certainly a welcome experience.

My visit was post-operative appt, after Heidel hernia repair. Office visit went smooth - unaventiful no issues from surgery which was expected. Surgery was a great experience from arrival to surgery outcome. I am very pleased with Dr Kadhey's surgery skills and the decision to have the surgery.

The hospital visit on May 4th and the proceeding 3 after, my experience was very good and everyone was professional, caring and help me feel comfortable through the whole experience. I consider my experience and my surgery went extremely well and actually it didn't really feel like I was in the hospital at all that's how well it went with everybody being so nice and caring with me and I would not hesitate to get more procedures done when needed

During my recent visit...Dr.Kedhy was not listening to what I was saying..Very impatient like...Not listening to what l have to say..Telling me nothing is wrong but apparently something is wrong with this pain I'm having were my last hernia was...I cannot bend over without it hurting..I can't even hardly have sex because of the sharpness and tenderness of this hernia that he repaired...And on top of that the pain I'm also having around my belly button were the first hernia repair was done..We're he put in the mesh,screws and metal..Which I didn't know all that was going to be put in at the time of surgery..But that's another issue.. Something is definitely wrong..I feel like l might just be having some type of bad reaction behind this..But hell who knows I'm not a Dr..But what l do know my stomach is not right..All I'm saying is the extremely strong pain I'm having from the last hernia repair not the first one..Is unbearable and l just feel like he thinks I'm exaggerating or lying..Just did not feel any concern or passionate about what I'm going threw or how we can see what's wrong..And even though I had a CT scan two months ago doesn't mean nothing..Maybe I need another one...Things can change or people health can take a turn on 24hrs...The dr communication skills are poor..I really felt unsatisfied...But hey what can l say..My son that was with me..Said mom no you need to tell him how you be bent over and were the hernia is causing you pain...I said l did son you witnessed it... It's just like he doesn't care...Only concerned about cutting on people... That's just how I feel...But I'm going to figure out something because this is not right should not be having still this much pain....after my last surgery...

Dr. Kehedy and his PA. Kelsey reviewed my CT Scan and explained the risks for surgery and possible outcomes. I did not receive the answers I wanted but I was told the total reality of my situation. I left with a sense of honesty and reality and a sense of assurance and positivity in spite of what I was told.
