Dr. Amir Zaher Beshai, MD

Dr Beshai removed my husband's kidney and then did a biopsy and found it was NOT cancerous, he said "I'll see you back here for dialysis". And no other advice. Now I've been told that doctors can retire if they get enough patients on dialysis there is so much money in it. My husband died.

My husband had surgery with Dr. Beshai a year ago. Doing a prostate scan he found a mass on a kidney, he guessed it was cancerous and was very sure it was, also the two people who took the scan and wrote up an opinion thought it was cancerous, and no one had any second thoughts. He was the expert, you want to trust your doctor so, my husband allowed Beshai to remove the kidney. He didn't warn us that living with one kidney is risky, we hear of people giving them away, so we didn't search the topic, we trusted his decision. But afterwards we found that other doctors do a biopsy during surgery before they remove it, and removing a mass without the kidney is fine. AFTER the surgery Beshai told us that he'd probably have to do dialysis someday, he did not tell us how to avoid that, or why he thought that. So. last week my husband had kidney failure and almost died. We've been told about the diet that Beshai should have told us about. My husband has not drank any liquor since surgery (although Beshai never said to limit drinking) and he is slim, he doesn't eat much bad food. Dr. Beshai should have warned us, but he never said anything, and we should have been given a choice on surgery.... more communication. But surgery went well.
