Excellent service

Difficult understanding due to strong accent

Dr. Ketchandji is has been absolutely amazing in keeping me on a maintenance program for my bladder cancer, before her I was not even being given immunotherapy and this has kept my tumors away, I am so blessed to have her as my doctor.Hunter is so accommodating and he always keeps me informed answering my questions.

Thanks....
-
The physical exam was conducted quickly once the doctor entered the room and it went well.
-
The Physician was extremely nice, caring, and approachable. I really liked her.
-
She is very distant in her approach to her patient. There was a lot of knowledge but no connection. I found it a very difficult communication. She explained the procedure needed but I had no idea how to take care of myself until the procedure can be done, in over 6 weeks from now. I believe bedside manner is important, as is some compassion. To me, at my age, it is a dreaded thing to face, even if simple to others. I want this anonymous, because I don't doubt her medical skills, but I need to know I am not a number...

I would have liked to know when the Botox injections would start to work. I had to send a message by MyChart to ask. It was answered promptly the next morning.
-
Great DR
-
She was so ready to be in and out, no time to talk. And my appointment could have been a phone call, bed side manner non existent. Found out she sees 50 clients in one day that leaves absolutely no time for anyone and like I said my appointment could've been a phone call but either way she rushed and rushed out and had someone else in there taking notes
-
Very caring and asked how I was doing. Was very pleased to hear my surgery was very successful.
-
She is very thorough & presented me with options which is often rare. I have already referred her to 2 people
-
During the procedure, I was in some pain and the doctor was very quick to pause and get more anesthetic. While the procedure was uncomfortable, she was incredibly kind and professional.
-
Dr. Ketchandji is always attentive & pleasant. Communicates well. I leave her office knowing what diagnosis & what to expect next.
-
Dr K is great.
-
Told me what I had and that there was no reason I should have came to her
-
Glad she was conservative about prolapse treatment and proactive about my Botox treatment and willing to schedule soon to get my next Botox
-
My Urologist was very compassionate and showed lots of extreme care concerning my desire to continue to move forward with any options available. After examining me, she gave me hope

Went over test results and explained treatment options , good video visit.

The doctor did not communicate very well although she did listen to me. She suggested I have test but none that could be performed that day. I went to that appointment expecting an examination to find out what is wrong. She ordered test but one won't be performed for two and a half months when I go back to her office.
