I'm writing a review ahead of the surgery which I know is strange but what I have seen from Dr. K and his staff is nothing but caring. He has been very thorough in explaining everything to my DH and myself. I'm sure after the surgery Monday, he will be right there to manage my pain and to give a lot of instructions before I'm allowed to go home. I've wanted a breast reduction for years and am glad my NP made an appt with him. She has made me appt's. with probably 6 other PS over the years but I've always chickened out. This time I didn't, Dr. K won't operate if you smoke, so I have quit after almost 30 years of smoking and am so excited but am also very nervous. But I'm sure all will be good since I'm in the hands of Dr.K

A bit of relaxation

Ladies you will never guess what I'm up to right now. I'm in the woods sitting/hunting. This will be my last time this year so I took the day off from work to enjoy nature and all it has to offer. Sitting out here is so relaxing and mind cleansing. Ya I know I have my devices with me but that's so my husband and I can communicate out here. It's a brisk 20 degrees right now here on the Canadian border but dressed for the weather you are fine. Tomorrow we head to Latham to spend the night so we don't have to travel 3 1/2 hours Monday morning to be there for 6 am. Yes yes I'm beginning to get the jitters. Will update you all on how I feel after its all done. Good luck to everyone who is getting new boobies on Monday!

Dr. Kayastha is a fantastic PS. He will tell you he is OCD about his job and he is. He explains everything, and gets right to the point. His staff is wonderful and very helpful. My husband and I always felt very comfortable with what Dr. Kayastha was going to do for a procedure. We never questioned whether I should use him for my reduction or if we should see another PS. From my first appt. with him, we were comfortable with him as a choice. The out patient surgery hospital/building he uses is awesome. Everyone there was very professional and super friendly, doing whatever they could to make your stay their comfortable. His after care has been fantastic and he has been very good about rearranging my appointments since I'm located almost 4 hours from Latham, NY. Everything so far is a 5 star and I don't see that changing. If I were to need something more done, I would choose Dr. Kayastha.
