Dr. Kesmodel is an amazing surgeon. She is courteous, kind and caring and it shows through her personality as she discusses the objectives and what she would like to see happen. I KNOW how hard it has been on me and my health to find a truly CARING doctor and I found that in Dr. Kesmodel. She went above and beyond to help rectify my specific medical issues and that is something I deeply, deeply APPRECIATE about her and her team. They ALL did a great job and made me feel comfortable The results I got after her correcting the issues I have had over the last six years is nothing but extraordinary. She is also HONEST amd takes her time in making sure you understand what expectations she needs to come along with continued treatment. I healed nicely in comparison to what I previously looked like in terms of stiching, scarring drainage after HER performing my corrective surgery. MOST importantly she was the one that personally contacted me after I went to her as a second opinion since I was having major difficulties in finding the right surgeon. I have deep respect for her and she made even the most scary outcome (IF the cancer returns again) not so scary. She made it so that IF I had to go through ALL of it again (which would be my seventh time) I would be treated once again with the same care as she has been giving to me. This cancer treatments have taken a toll on me physically, mentally and emotionally. Dr. Kesmodel contacted me and she never had to do that BIT she did. From start to finish she is truly honest and let's one know the outcomes of what she would like to see happen (which is to NOT go through this cancer again). I have respect for her. She tells thee truth amd she looks at you with direct eye contact to make sure that one is following and understanding the underlying information a patient such as myself NEEDS to know). Dr. Kesmodel is a doctor who is doing everything within her capabilities to ensure that one is treated with dignity and respect which is something that you rarely find in cancer journeys such as mine. Dr. Kesmodel is completely hopeful in regards to herself AND her patients. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in need of a professional and personal supporting surgeon. She is definitely one of the people who makes living with what I have been going through the last six years. I cannot write enough the many great things she does for you as her patient. I have trust in her because of this. She made sure as to not misguide or mislead me in any way. Her continuing concern and care to improve my specific medical health concerns and supported me so that my quality of life returns sooner rather not at all. I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about her and her team. It is completely different situation in comparison to how some of the other Dr's that made me feel that my life and medical needs are being heard. This means so much because she returned trust in the medical oncology field. Trusting in her words and actions properly supported hopefulness in my quality of life. I was losing hope and she gave it back to me at her VERY best. I will never forget this. I thank God for placing her in my path.

Dr. Kesmodel was extremely professional, thorough, patient, and took the time to listen, answer my questions, and explain options in a very clear, detailed and comprehensive way. She did not seem rushed and was exceptionally personable and focused on me. I have seen several people for this sort of thing because of my family history (and I am in the medical field as well) - and this was by far the most clear, understandable, thoughtful, informative encounter I've had. I feel like I have the capacity to make informed decisions with Dr. Kesmodel and her team to move along a roadmap - she is a remarkable clinician and person.
