Mountain West Surgical Specialists Reviews
I definitely recommend Dr. Kaan, PA Montana Merrick, and the whole office with 5 stars. I had my gallbladder taken out, and they were super kind and nice, very professional, and knowledgeable about the whole process from start to finish. I felt taken care of and comfortable with asking questions. Thanks again!
Dr Kaan and his staff are awesome to work with as they are very professional, courteous, respectful and thoroughly go over the process with you when having surgery. They answer all your questions and make you feel at ease. The post op follow up visit after surgery with PA Merrick was also outstanding. PA Merrick listens to any and all concerns you have post op and addresses your concerns carefully and fully with knowledgeable responses.
I was sent to Mountain West Surgical via the Cheyenne VAMC for inguinal hernia repair. . Every step, from initial consult to post surgery follow up, was outstanding. Every person was extremely professional, yet personable and friendly. I have already recommended this place to friends. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic! Top notch surgeon and care, the entire staff is helpful and, most importantly, they truly care about their patients and never rush you through the process. They really listen and take the time to help you understand the process. I'm VERY grateful to Dr Gates and Merrick!
Dr. Kaan recently took a cyst off the back of my knee. It has healed up nicely. From my first appointment to my post-op, he was absolutely incredible. He was kind, friendly and patient with me as I asked all my questions and concerns. He has great bed side manner and has a good sense of humor. His staff were very professional and friendly as well. I highly recommend him and his practice at Mountain West Surgical Specialists for any general surgery needs.
