Ghosh Kris, MD

Just as an update, Dr Kris Ghosh passed away last year. So sad to hear the news. My condolences to his family.

It has been three months since Dr. Kris Ghosh passed away unexpectedly, and I’m still grieved over the loss of this fine doctor. I think of him almost everyday and am forever grateful for the wonderful care he gave me during and after my surgery for ovarian cancer. The medical world lost a wonderful, caring surgeon.

My family and I are so saddened to hear about Dr. K. Ghosh passing. Condolences to his family. I was very happy that I had him and his sister, Dr. Sue Ghosh, as my surgeons. Dr K. Ghosh always made me comfortable with his care and knowledge and eased my mind, due to my history of Colon cancer. As a nurse I was impressed with Dr. k.Ghosh.
Dr. K. Ghosh you will be missed. To his family, our prayers are with you.

Always sad to hear of a functioning professional adult and active member of society suddenly passing from complications at his own hospital. This is truly a loss for words. Best wishes to your family, the San Diego medical community will miss you.

Dr Ghosh was an amazing doctor and person! It breaks my heart to hear of his passing; I cant imagine how his family is feeling’ my heart goes out to all of them. In 2013 I was diagnosed with cervical cancer I couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate doctor and staff. I have been under his care seeing him every 3 months and will continue to see his sister. My deepest condolences to his family and friends we lost a wonderful person!

I am so sad about his passing. He’s so young!
He delivered my daughter because my regular doctor (also young) had had a minor stroke. It was a C-​section and it was so fast. We were joking in the OR. I really liked him. I didn’t continue to see him since he is also an Oncologist. I was informed that he has a lot of emergencies and may miss or be late to appointments. Even the nurses at the hospital said that if they had to have a C-​section, they want Dr. Ghosh to do it! I was very happy with him.

Dr. Kris Ghosh passed away. This saddens me so much, if it wasn’t for him I would never be able to have children. He saved my entire reproductive system when any other surgeon would have removed it all in surgery, before dr ghosh saw me same day & took my case I was told by ER doc & surgeon I’d have to have everything removed. Seeing dr ghosh, he was confident he would only have to remove one ovary. When I woke up from surgery he was pleased to inform me that not only did he remove excess adhesions from my prior surgery but that he successfully removed the mass only taking a tiny portion of my right ovary. So small that it’s hard to see on any scan than one ovary is smaller than the other. This man went above & beyond in my treatment & in every aspect of his life as well. He received multiple degrees in OBGYN, OBGYN oncology & a masters in business. He assisted taught at Harvard university & was a professional chef! Betty Crocker published one of his cook
Books made for cancer patients who need to gain weight. He was a true over achiever who has saved so many lives. When I read negative reviews it upsets me because being in the medical field I understand all the risks that he cannot control when patients undergo surgery or care, & how people are so quick to blame the dr personally not fully understanding the other side of the story. He was an amazing, dedicated doctor & that is what he will be remembered for. I send my love in this time of grieving to his sister, Dr. Sue Ghosh & the rest of his family, friends, and even patients who love him just as much as I do. May he rest in paradise

Do not go to him. I was scheduled for a morning appointment because I am a diabetic and didn’t want to go all day without eating. I waited three months for the procedure and only found out the day before that he was going to operate on me in the afternoon. A diabetic educator from Palomar Hospital called his office to say I had valid concerns and was blown off. I asked to speak to him directly about this and was told to meet him at the office. I arrived and was told that he would not operate on me and that I’d get a letter. When I asked why and Beth wouldn’t answer. She just told me I would get a letter. I did and am very grateful he didn’t touch me. He has had significant problems with the medical board and lost a multimillion dollar lawsuit because one patient now defecates out of her vagina. A video about it is posted under NBCNews.

If I could give Dr. Ghosh zero stars, I most certainly would. If anyone would like the full story and all the details, or if you have any questions, feel free to message me. For now, you can view the news story about my mother here:

DO NOT LET THIS BUTCHER OPERATE ON YOU!

I love Dr. Ghosh. He saved my life and treated me for the better part of 6 months during my recovery. He was patient and kind. Took care of me when my OBGYN office was neglectful and almost caused me to lose a kidney. I would go to him again, regulary recommend him to others and trust him completely.

Dr Ghosh saved my life. I am an RN, and have worked with doctors for over 30 years. This man is brilliant, thorough, and compassionate. There were times when I was in the hospital and I could not reach him, and was discharged without talking to him. Yes, he is not easy to get a hold of… but he is an aggressive surgeon, which is what one needs when they have cancer. If you have to wait for him, it is not because he’s having a party!!! He’s spending time with patients, making sure their questions are answered, and attending to whatever he can do to help. I said it before and I’ll say it again… this man, literally, saved my life. I am eternally grateful.

Dr Ghosh is one of the best, most concise doctors I have ever been to. I was worried to death that I may have cancer. He was very straight and to the point on what to expect. No beating around the bush! I did have to wait more than an hour past my scheduled time for my initial consult, but that is to be expected from a doctor who operates. Anyone who has an issue with that is just a jackass that is too wrapped up in their own life to be compassionate towards another. His office is very professional, calming and welcoming. All my questions were answered, and I was told what to expect all the way through the process, at the initial consult.
The staff (Stacy, Morgan, Monica, Terry specifically that I’ve dealt with) is wonderful and caring, with the exception of 1 nurse there, who seems to have forgotten she is working with REAL people, not just random cases. I developed a hernia from a cough and called to get a visit to check this issue, a few months after my initial surgery. She couldn’t get me in for 3 weeks I was told. And that Dr Ghosh was too busy dealing with people who had CANCER. And that it was not a priority to get me in because I was not suffering from CANCER. Stressing the word CANCER each time she said it, trying to make me feel bad because I wasn’t as ill as other patients and should just be happy to wait. And if I could not wait, to go see my primary. Even though I was still a patient that was unsure of her health and had already been through a cancer scare and complete hysterectomy at 36 just a few months previous. This person, and this person alone, is the reason I gave a 4 star rating instead of a 5. Her attitude is definitely an anomaly at this office.

Excellent Doctor! He not only is extremely professional but he is actually personable and makes you feel comfortable as a patient. His office is beautiful, very relaxing. His staff is professional and very friendly.

I am writing this on behalf of my mother. We are once again at Pomerado Hospital recovering from her second major surgery. Both surgeries done to save her life, and both surgeries made necessary because of an error made during a simple robotic surgery preformed by Dr. Kris Ghosh.
We were prompted to write this as we read Jen F.;s distressing review, I can tell her to thank the heaven’s that this doctor hung up on her. I wish he had hung up on my mother three years ago. Although I feel awful for your situation you dodged a bullet.
The surgeon that did the life saving surgery on my mother the first time, came out of the operating room horrified at what he had seen when he opened my mother. His immediate comment was «This was not a natural event, it was a mess in there.» We found that meaning later to be, the surgical mesh that Dr. Ghosh placed in my mother had been stitched to her bowel. That is in no way correct and caused her bowel to turn necrotic, causing near death.
Back in the hospital with another emergency surgery to save her. Again complications due to the initial surgery done by Dr. Ghosh.
I am reminded of the time I met and spoke with Ghosh. It was in the hospital while the first emergency surgery was underway. Dr. Ghosh rushed in, he wanted to meet with my father and I. He was very quick to tell us he had spoken to the surgeons and looked at the notes and assured us that the problems my mother was experiencing had nothing to do with anything he had done, but if he had been called he could have fixed the problem before it had gotten so bad. I am convinced now that he wished he had been called so that he could have tried to cover his rear.
He is an awful doctor and I would never recommend him, not to anyone ever!

go to the link above and it will explain a lot about this «doctor».
Over a month ago I went to this office due to a pain in my right ovary area (referral from my primary). There is a mass which is 4.7mm big, completely covering my right ovary.
It is June and I still don’t know if it is benign or malignant. My first visit I froze, wrapped in paper for almost an hour. This was after waiting in the waiting room for 30 past my appointment time. Unfortunately, I only allowed 100 minutes for this appointment. I had to reschedule due to my being out of waiting time and I was absolutely frozen. There were no apologies. in fact, I was informed that as a patient, I should have allowed a minimum of a 2 hour window for a Dr. appointment. I never heard of this rule in my 48 years of existence.
I rescheduled for the next week. This time I brought my own robe, socks, etc. The doctor saw me on a somewhat timely manner, but spent no more than 3 minutes with me, this is including the exam time. he spent maybe 30 seconds to rattle off my options. I had questions which I had to ask the Dr. in the hallway.
I then was shuffled to sit in front of Sully. This woman couldn’t answer any of my questions.
I got a call a few days later to schedule surgery. they wanted me to go to their office for pre-​op paperwork and then race to the hospital for pre-​op. 9am at their office, 9:30 at the hospital. They were not next door to each other!
PRE-​OP with Sully consisted of signing things without understanding them. Then, she had me watch a movie on having a hysterectomy… I wasn’t even having this procedure! This intimidated me.
I had questions. Sully was VERY RUDE AND SHORT with me. I actually was so uncomfortable with her attitude, I asked her why she was being do short with me. Instead if hearing a professional response, like maybe, I know it must be unnerving not too have your questions answered. How about I ask the doctor too call you? No, instead, she argued about her mannerism.
She couldn’t answer my questions. Instead, she told me, «YOU WILL HAVE TO ASK THE DOCTOR THE DAY OF YOUR SURGERY. IF YOU DON’T DECIDE TO GO THROUGH WITH THE SURGERY AT THAT TIME THEN YOU WILL BE LIABLE TO PAY $ 650.»
While I was checking into the hospital for the pre-​op, I mentioned to the registrar of a few of my concerns. She told me I had a right to get a 2^nd opinion, which I decided to do.
I made an appointment with a wonderful obgyn named Dr. Whiteman. She explained why I needed the procedure. Unfortunately, she doesn’t perform surgeries any more.
so I called Dr. Ghosh’s office and asked to schedule my surgery. I mentioned I went for a second opinion because their Dr. didn’t give me enough time and info. they said someone would call me back. I requested that it NOT be Sully.
I received a call from the doctor late that day. He was this time very wordy and said we weren’t a good match, he needed to have a Vons with his patients, etc. I finally asked, ‘does this mean you’re refusing to perform my surgery?’ He said yes.
I was astonished. I said, you’re a horrible doctor to do this to me! His response was to just hang up on me.
This doctor didn’t seem to take his oath very seriously. he caused me harm by treating me like cattle then refusing to perform the surgery.
Just thought I would share my nightmare with this doctor so you might not have to endure any similar issues.
Maybe this was a blessing in disguise. I was going to allow this ego-​maniac the opportunity to cut me open and take out one if my organs!
I hope the best for whomever is reading this and hope your have better experience than I.
UPDATE 9÷18÷14: I went to a different doctor who put me on Estrogen. The cyst is gone! No surgery necessary! Scary that I almost got butchered by this quack.
