Patient Reviews
Apr 05, 2022
On Sept. 3, 2021 my gall bladder ruptured resulting in much pain and a serious blood infection. Dr Kansakar diagnosed the problem and set a plan for surgery once my body “settled down.” A drain tube was installed in my abdomen and surgery was scheduled for late Nov. Dr Kansakar is a wonderful doctor. She monitored and medicated my condition during those three months. As the surgery approached, She carefully explained the surgical options, depending on all possible variables, both verbally and graphically (freehand drawing). Dr Kansakar always listened to my questions and gave me thoughtful and complete answers. I have total confidence in Dr Kansakar and am very thankful to have her as my surgeon. The surgery was a complete success. I would give highest possible recommendation of Dr Kansakar to anyone needing an excellent surgeon.
