Ara Keshishian, MD, FACS, FASMBS, FAACS

Dr. Keshishian is the biggest sweet heart in the world, and as well of his staff! They go above and beyond to help out with any questions or concerns. I recommend anyone who is wanting or is interested in having weight loss surgery to have Dr. Keshishian do the job, if you want it done right! Thank you doctor and staff. You guys rock!

My sister in law is dead because of the surgery gastric bypass. She was not a good candidate, but Dr. Keshishian performed the surgery anyways. They are trying to cover it up. She hemmoraged after her surgery.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. K and his staff back in 2013. His staff is amazing and goes out of their way to ensure you are informed and taken care of. What can I say about Dr. K. He had been an the most amazing doctor I have ever had. He goes out of his way to explain things to and takes his time with you. I never feel rushed or like I cannot ask a question. He adds humor to leave you feeling relaxed and in great hands. Dr. K and his staff will return all my questions quickly and make me feel like family as opposed to a patient. Uncle K (again the family feel) and his staff are the best. Bow ties mean he is ready to teach! You will understand once you meet him.

Dr. Keshishian is one of the most kind-​hearted, caring, and compassionate doctors that I have ever met. Every time I have had an appointment I’ve been greeted by his wonderful receptionists Silva and Krstine and taken right back. Dr. Keshishian takes his time with each patient and is an excellent communicator. What seals the deal for me though is that he is candid and honest! Dr. Keshishian is true to his hippocratic oath.

Dr. Ara Keshishian became my surgeon in 2000. From the first office visit, till today, he has been a doctor who has always treated me as an individual person and not just a «set of Labs and medical conditions». He truly believes in educating his patients so they can become a Doctor/​Patient-​Team who works toward the best HEALTH results possible. I will repeat what you may have already read in other reviews… He truly cares about his patients. Choosing Dr. Keshishian as my weight loss surgeon was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I completely respect his surgical skills… period…regardless of the type of surgery it is. I’m am completely satisfied with my surgical outcome and the splendid aftercare that has occurred all these years. I’m happy to know Dr. Keshishian is in my «Healthcare Corner» now and beyond.

Dr Keshishian is the best doctor. This man saved my life. He truly cares about his patients. I had the DS done almost two years ago, lost 166 pounds and had my hernia repaired and panniculectomy done a week ago. He’s done a wonderful job both times. He makes sure you truly understand what he’s going to do to you. I highly recommend Dr Keshishian.

It was hard finding a laparoscopic surgeon let alone one who is really experienced and advanced. I heard and read stories where I’d be in pain for at least a week and that life would suck during this time. Well let me say that Dr. Kesh blew away my expectations. Awesome work, knowledgeable, clean environment, courteous staff. True 5 star In my opinion. I have little to no pain after surgery and I’m already back at work within a week. I highly recommend Dr. Kesh for Hernia repair and I’m sure he’s just as good with everything else! Thanks Dr Kesh.

Dr Keshishian is skilled, thorough and truly cares about his patients. Many months or research went into my decision of choosing Dr K and also the DS surgery. For more information, you can check out his website (
) as any potential patient should always do their own research, before making a decision.
