Testimonials
“I lost 100 lbs after having my second child 13 years ago through diet and exercise. I adopted a healthy, active lifestyle but no matter what I did I would never have the body that I worked so hard for. There was an unpleasant wrinkly, loose skin look to my lower abdomen. I also had an unsightly scar from exploratory surgery which was drastically improved through the surgery. My overall experience was nothing but positive! The Dr,staff, and everyone at the hospital were friendly, knowledgable and professional. I’m a nervous person but I felt 100% confident in the ability of my Dr. My outcome is life changing. I feel truly blessed to have found Dr. Kayastha.” - Steph
“I went to Dr. Kayastha for a gynecomastia procedure. I’m not normally one to write a review, but these reviews helped me pick Dr. K., so this serves as my referral to you to see him! From the start, the experience was nothing but positive.
First impression: the receptionist booking the first consultation was very friendly and just her tone made me feel comfortable and confident. The appointment was scheduled only a week or so out, which was very fast. I sat in the waiting room for just minutes (if that) before I was seen. Dr. K. immediately presented in an extremely professional manner and was incredibly knowledgeable about the procedure. He explained every part in explicit detail – what to expect before, during and after. He made sure I was well-educated too and answered every question (most before I even needed to ask). Dr. K. really took the time to get to know me to figure out what my expectations were.
The surgery was scheduled very quickly and the patient care prior to was just as good as the care after the procedure. Aside from this cosmetic procedure, I’ve returned back to Dr. K. for a mole removal and have referred family and friends to him. I actually get excited when other people talk about procedures because I just want to jump right in and tell them THIS is your Doctor! His work is truly pristine and I wouldn’t trust any one else. Dr. Kayastha comes with my very high recommendation! He takes great pride in his work and it really shows!” Matt
“I was referred to Dr.K by a physician to have abdominoplasty after losing a lot of weight. The first thing that I liked was the fact I didn’t spend long periods of time in the waiting room. The office staff are very courteous and helpful. Then after meeting the doctor, I was totally impressed with him! He is extremely knowledgeable and shows genuine concern for his patients. He really makes you feel at ease. Dr. K has a phenominal beside manor. Dr. K explains everything in great detail so you completely understand. I am completely satisfied with Dr. K and my results and would recommend him wholeheartedly.” - Madeline
