He is the most outstanding doctor I have ever had. Warm, tender, considerate, great at explaining what and why. Amazing bed side manner. He takes time with you! He is what every doctor should be. Dr. Kairys is simply THE BEST!

What can one say? No one wants to undergo surgery - but, if you must, this is the place to be! Dr. Kairys is not only one of the best surgeons in his field, he's a human being. Throughout the entire process - pre-surgical screenings, tests, labs, bloodwork, etc. his assistants made sure everything was taken care of. He personally took the time to explain everything in detail...answered every question, and had a general attitude of "this is going to be ok", putting you at ease. After surgery, he and his staff (especially Angela) spent much time making sure that any post-surgical issues were taken care of. After a follow-up scan to detect any additional CA activity, Dr. Kairys went out of his way to meet with me same-day at the end of the day to be sure I wouldn't wait unnecessarily and anxiously without knowing the results. Incredible. I've had other doctors (at some of the more respected institutions, aka: UoP) not bother to CALL for weeks with the results of a scan, let alone… meet with you same-day; unconscionable. The contrast between that and the care you receive at Dr. Kairys office is incredible. Wonderful surgeon, wonderful staff. Five stars!
