My husband underwent surgery last week and we were fortunate enough to have been referred to Dr. Kassir. The doctor removed a lipoma (fatty tumor) blocking the colon using the daVinci robotic procedure. This involved about a foot of the colon being removed and reattached. Before this happened to us we would not have know to ask for this type of surgery. It is less invasive than the standard surgery thus resulting in less pain and faster recovery time.
We couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Kassir was very kind and very capable, everything we wanted in a surgeon, inspiring confidence and trust which is so important for someone undergoing surgery.
I know it might be kind of odd to put this kind of review on Yelp, but we just wanted to get the word out that there are safe and effective alternatives to the standard colon surgery.
