Dr. Keyser is a caring, concerned surgeon who takes all the time needed to explain your condition. He is very compassionate, and during procedures, if you have any pain, he apologizes, and if possible, will give you another shot to numb the area. I am 70 and have had vein problems for many years. My legs are now pain free, no more restless legs, no sensitivity to touch and they look great!

Dr. Keyser was kind, professional, personable, and took the time to thoroughly answer each one of my questions, even calling to check on me after hours to see how I was doing following my procedure. I could not have had a better experience. Each and every staff member I encountered was so welcoming and the nurses were top notch. I'm so pleased with the results from my procedures and grateful for the wonderful care I received. I highly recommend Dr. Keyser- so glad he was recommended to me!

My experience with Dr. Keyser was excellent. He is very caring. He has taken care of very sick, old patients for many years. Some have poor outcomes; to undermine Dr. Keyser in reviews is unfair. I think he is great and would send family to him without question.

After my husband's foot worsened, the most memorable moment was when he told us he did not know why we came back because he had already told us he could do nothing.

After surgery patient received very poor pain management.Also has very poor beside manners. Did not treat this patient as a person. Patient was treated like a science experiment. Do not trust skills or decision making habits of this surgeon.

Words can not express how grateful me and my family are for Dr. John Keyser--if it weren't for his incredible surgical expertise and amazing bedside manner, I KNOW my mother's health would not be where it is today. Dr. Keyser was very patient with all of our questions and fully explained our mother's situation. I feel feel blessed that Dr. Keyser was my mother's surgeon.
