    Dr. Kayatta is an exceptional physician. His ability to explain complex medical issues to his patients is excellent. Dr. Kayatta took the time needed to explain the technical details neccessary for me to understand the proposed surgery. I was very impressed with his expertise and empathy, which combined to establish a high level of physician-patient rapport. I highly recommend him.

    Dr. Kayatta is the most informed doctor I have ever meet. He made sure I understood everything about my surgery, ICU stay and recovery. If I thought of a question the office made sure I had an answer the same day. I highly recommend Dr. Kayatta.
