Testimonials

What Patients Are Saying

Company Logo
Dr Kish has a rare approach in today's medicine. He gives you his undivided attention and is more concerned about meeting the needs of the patient than doing things the way he prefers i.e. His preference was general sedation. I felt strongly not to go that way. He graciously gave a local which allowed us to converse during the surgery. He has a down to earth approachable disposition making it easy and comfortable to talk with, which fosters a confident, a safe feeling. He explains the procedure in detail and what to expect. He doesn't hurry you even though he is busy. I would give him 10 stars!!
