For 3 to 4 years no one was able to pin point or diagnose my problem. Dr. Kafie ran a series of tests, determined the problem, and referred me to the specialist who will do the surgery. I am forever grateful to him for diagnosing my problem and helping me get the necessary treatment.

Dr Kafie is a wonderful Dr. Very kind and great bedside manner and I trust him completely. He did a procedure on me this morning at the surgical center to see if I had a blockage in my leg. Any surgery I need that is in his field, he will be my go to Dr.

Fine treatment once you see the RN's and Doctor; however, the wait time AFTER arriving for your appointment time is exceedingly, extremely long.

DR. KAFIE TOOK ME ON AS A NEW PATIENT WITHOUT HESITATION. HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT MY FUTURE HEALTH AND HAD SOME CONCERNS. ONE OF THEM WAS MY SMOKING HABIT. I HAVE SINCE,.QUIT,....(HAVE AN OCCASIONAL ONE)...AND HE HAS DONE A REMARKABLE JOB HEALING MY LEGS. I TRUST HIM COMPLETELY AND HE IS EASY TO TALK TO,.AND VERY UNDERSTANDING. I WAS FACING "MAJOR" SURGERY BUT HE MADE ME FEEL CONFIDENT, AND REASSURED. THE SURGERY WAS A SUCCESS, AND HE HAS SCHEDULED ANOTHER ONE. HE LEFT FOR HONDURAS THE DAY AFTER MY SURGERY BUT LEFT ME IN THE HANDS OF HIS ASSOCIATES WHO WERE ALLSO WONDERFUL. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND DR. KAFIE TO ANYONE WHO HAS A VASCULAR PROBLEM. HE'S THE GREATEST!!
