Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
Dr Kish explained the procedure I was to receive thoroughly, in a kind and thoughtful manner. As I was in the emergency room under rather a lot of stress, at the time, his bedside manner was much appreciated. During all my follow up visits, he has continued to give excellent care. I would certainly recommend this surgeon.

Dr. Kish is very professional and he has a wonderful style that puts you at ease. More important though….is how he looked at my hand that I couldn’t move without pain ….and after an xray— he determined that I had no broken bones and that all things that he saw showed a course of care that involved a custom made splint and some rest for that hand for a couple of weeks. I am an active 74 year old with relatively good health. Though I tend to forget my age and engage in outdoor activities like cutting down some trees , moving 12” cinder blocks and moving other pretty heavy items that May be better left to the younger generation…at least some of the time. He explained everything for me. He listened to me and answered all the questions that I had. Absolutely Great bed side manner.Had my follow up visit today. Hand is almost back to normal…. And feels great ! No surgery needed—- and that is a diagnosis and care from a Doctor and Surgeon.Many times in my life I’ve had the chance to come across some fantastic people. Always is a refreshing moment ! Again today !

Dr. Kish introduced himself, called me by my name, gave me time to communicate my concerns and explained my diagnosis. Very friendly and knowledgeable.
