Kian Ali Modanlou

Great experience and man. Was on my feet within hours of robotic surgery and hit every benchmark Dr. Modanlou expected for me.

Dr. Mondanlou and staff are wonderful. I have worked in healthcare personally for most of my adult life and had the pleasure and privilege of working with some of the best physicians in the United States. I would consider Dr. Mondanlou and his staff to be part of this elite grouping of medical professionals. From initially calling the office to schedule a new patient appointment to my surgery and my follow up, I have been treated wonderfully.

Dr. Modanlou represents what healthcare should be, in his professionalism, skill, cutting-edge techniques and bedside manner. I had consulted with him a few months ago, intending to have a gallbladder removal when I was done breastfeeding (gallstones were a gift of my pregnancy). Unfortunately, not long before that planned procedure, a gallbladder attack turned into an emergency situation requiring immediate removal. The hospital had me hooked up with some great surgeons, but I requested Dr. Modanlou by name, who upon learning I was hospitalized, rearranged his schedule for the next business day to do my surgery - if that isn't impeccable customer service, I don't know what is. I'm very grateful. He is nationally known for his work with robotics, and teaches the next generation how to use these techniques to pay it forward. Doesn't hurt that his pre-op/OR is Gucci :) He also takes his time addressing all your questions and putting you at complete ease, making me laugh and calming my nerves before surgery. Lastly, while vanity is the least important part of this, I had made a request in a consult months ago about where my incisions would be and he remembered that without any reminder from me. I am now only 24 hours post surgery, in minimal pain and only needing over the counter meds. As a tech executive who leads sales and customer success teams, I am incredibly discerning when it comes to customer service and have high standards for my medical care, and Dr. Modanlou is an A+++ doc and human.

This was my first surgery and I was going in anxious and nervous. Dr. Kian M was so patient, and answered all of my questions thoughtfully to reassure me. Surgery went well! Can’t recommend him enough!

I am a nurse. I was afraid to have surgery. I know what can happen if things go wrong. I came to my pre-op appointment with a chip on my shoulder and very clear requests. Dr. Modanlou was patient, calm, and honored my requests. Now the good part. Surgery went EXACTLY as he said it would. Thank you sir. Please stay in the business and teach your residents and fellows to work like you. I am a nurse. I was afraid to have surgery. I know what can happen if things go wrong.

Dr. Modanlou is the best Dr in Colorado. He got me fixed up very quickly and was awesome the whole time. I was a little nervous to get my hernia fixed but Dr Modanlou eased my concerns and made the process as smooth as possible. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a hernia repair.

Dr. Modanlou and his team were phenomenal to work with!! Being a nurse, I am always overly critical when it comes to receiving care. However, I felt comfortable throughout this entire stay even undergoing emergent surgery. Dr. Modanlou did an excellent job of explaining all that would be done even relating it to his own experiences. At my follow up, Dr. M and his team made me feel heard and made sure all questions and concerns of mine were addressed. So happy Dr. M ended up being my surgeon! Would highly recommend.

I’m one week to the day into my recovery after bilateral hernia surgery with Dr. Modanlou. My experience with Dr Modanlou and his staff has been nothing short of excellent. The day after laparoscopic surgery, I felt good enough to go for a one mile+ walk. Four days after surgery, I walked 3 miles around Washington Park. I had very little pain and did not have to take any of the narcotic pills that I had been prescribed, just in case I needed them. I would highly recommend Dr Modanlou for hernia surgery to anyone.

Dr. Modanlou is the man to see for any hernia repair needs. I had a bilateral hernia repair done and the recovery was seamless. Didn’t need to take any pain killers and or anti-inflammatorys. Brushing and swelling was minimal and honestly felt great 2-3 days post-op. His staff is also very nice, organized, and professional. An overall seamless experience from pre-op to post-op.

Overall great care and outcome. Only issue was that they told me the incisions would be at or below my waistline, but the scars ended up being 2-3 inches above my waistline.

Dr. Modanlou and Team are great people and exceptional to get to work with. I had an umbilical hernia repair and I am more than satisfied regarding the procedure from beginning to end. Thanks everyone, you are the best!

I recently had a procedure to correct a umbilical hernia that was performed by Dr. Modanlou. This procedure went very well, the after surgery pain was minimal. Dr. Modanlou informed me of the method he would be using and his projected outcome. Everything went as planned. I am very pleased with Dr. Modanlou and would recommend him for surgery to friends and family. Thank you Dr. Modanlou.

I found Dr. Modanlou on healthgrades.com as the highest rated doc for hernia repair in my area. Dr. Modanlou repaired my inguinal hernia using a robotics-assisted laparoscopic procedure that he teaches other doctors how to perform. Needless to say, the recovery was a world of difference easier than my last hernia that was repaired using open surgery by a doctor I didn't select. I didn't have to take pain medicine or ice it for nearly as long (2-3 days tops), and I was already back to bedroom activities just 4 days after surgery. I highly recommend choosing Dr. Modanlou for hernia repair if you want it done with modern technology that minimizes recovery time, and I would trust him for any other procedure as well.

I was referred to Dr. Modanlou through my gastroenterologist for gallbladder removal and I could not have been happier with the way I was treated throughout the entire process.

Wonderful doctor grat team. Took very good care of me.

Dr. M and team are so very amazing. Although I had to have surgery my experience was amazing. I knew what to expect and how recovery would go. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful

I visited Dr. Modanlou on July 30, 2021 for treatment for an inguinal hernia. The initial visit in his office was efficient and professional. After diagnosing my condition the corrective surgery was scheduled for the following week, August 6, at Swedish Hospital. Dr. Modanlou performed robotic minimally invasive surgery to correct my hernia and I was back home the same day. The results have been terrific and I have put the hernia in the rear view mirror as though I never had it. Dr. Modanlou is a consummate professional and instills great confidence. His training and experience are second to none. After my experience I know I selected a terrific doctor and highly recommend him to anyone needing surgery.

I received excellent care from Dr Modanlou. Surgery was thoroughly explained with great results!

Dr. Modanlou and his team were fantastic! He took time to answer any and all questions and had excellent follow up. I highly recommend him!

Dr Modanlou was excellent. Very professional with a good bedside manner. My gall bladder removal was was well done with excellent results and excellent care. Thanks Doc !

Needed to have surgery to repair a hernia. Before the operation, Dr. Modanlou was very helpful in explaining what they surgery entail and what I could expect. The surgery itself was performed robotically. Virtually no pain following the surgery. Throughout the entire experience, Dr. Mondanlou was very friendly and never gave off the arrogant vibe that some surgeons do. I would definitely recommend anyone needing surgery to use Dr. Mondanlou.

Dr. Modanlou explained the procedure and process. He and his office team are really buttoned up on their processes. It was a smooth, stressless experience. I highly reccomend Dr. Modanlou and his staff!

Dr. Modanlou ("Dr.M") is an amazing surgeon with an equally amazing bedside manner. I had an emergency surgery, so while my wife spoke to Dr. M after the surgery and he explained in detailed, 'normal' language what he did and how everything went, my first in-depth interaction with Dr. M was at my post-surgery follow-up. He took the time to explain exactly what had been involved with the surgery, the Da Vinci robotic system that he used, what they found and how they approached things in my case, and all the time did so in a friendly, informative manner, ensuring I understood everything as he explained it. Nothing felt rushed or hurried, not did I feel like this was a chore for Dr. M. He genuinely cares about his patients, and is truly passionate about helping you understand as much information as you want to dive into. He also really understands the Da Vinci system, and can help assuage any concerns you might have regarding the use of the system - I can see why this will be the future direction for many surgeries. If you have any concerns at all just ask. Dr M. will talk to you like a real person (I know, what a concept!) to ensure that you are completely comfortable. You will be very happy that you selected him as your surgeon. Dr. Modanlou ("Dr.M") is an amazing surgeon with an equally amazing bedside manner.

Excellent Dr. Highly recommended. Great provider.

Great recovery. No pain

Dr. Modanlou is a renowned surgeon with unbelievable expertise in open surgery and robotic surgery. His training is impeccable and he is a superb human. I would send my family to him for any procedure.

In true 2020 style, I woke on Dec. 21 (a Monday morning) with sharp pains in my lower right abdomen. Within an hour, I checked in at the Swedish ER and began a day of tests and pain meds as the staff determined I was suffering from acute appendicitis and would need an emergency appendectomy. My surgeon wound up being Dr. Modanlou, and from first meeting him in the pre-op room to my post-op appointment, he made the entire process as seamless as possible. Not only did he and the Swedish staff save my life through the emergency procedure, he ensured I would be able to go home on the same day (rather than staying overnight in the hospital). My post-op appointment was informative and he promised he would be available at a moment's notice should I have any lingering issues, but I'm happy to report I'm having just about the best, smoothest recovery I can imagine. Obviously an emergency appendectomy isn't the way I would have liked to have started off the holidays, but thanks to Dr. Modanlou and the Swedish ER staff I was back on my feet in time for Christmas Eve and feeling good enough for a day of belated holiday baking before New Year's Eve. I definitely recommend him and the SurgOne staff if you find yourself in need of surgery, emergent or otherwise!

I had emergency appendectomy surgery and Dr. Modanlou did the procedure. I couldn't have had a better doctor. He listened to me and respected my thoughts. Unbelievable bedside manner. If I ever need surgery again I hope he's the man to do it. I can't say enough good things about him.

Dr. Modanlou performed an emergency surgery for me, and saved my life. His commitment to my care included getting to Rose Medical Center in the midst of an historic Denver snow storm of 20+ inches. His post-op follow-up with me was equally impressive. My family is highly appreciative for him, and his staff who cared for us.

I recently had my gallbladder removed by Dr. Modanlou. He was did a wonderful job! This was my first surgery. He explained the entire process and really made me feel at ease. Thank you again Dr. Modanlou!

The whole procedure from initial discovery through surgery and recuperation, with Dr. Modanlou ( “M” ) and his team and the Swedish Hospital staff, were terrific. Most importantly to me was the quick scheduling and corrective action of the surgery (inguinal hernia)... Good expectation setting. No time wasted, even during pandemic ????

Dr. Modanlou is a phenomenal surgeon who has an amazing bedside manner. I just recently got a open Median arcuate ligament release and removal of nerve tissue, which is a very rare surgery, and Dr. Modanlou was excellent through every step of the way and truly changed my life. I had been unknowingly suffering from MALS my entire life and Dr. Modanlou helped ensure that this was the proper diagnosis and then operated on me in a timely manner. I cannot thank Dr. Modanlou and his team enough for alleviating my pain and improving my quality of life. If you are looking for a beyond qualified surgeon with an amazing bedside manner, please give Dr. Modanlou the chance to change your life. I took the leap of faith working with he and he exceeded each of my expectations and literally changed my life. Thank you so so so much Dr. Modanlou.

I found Dr. Modanlou on the internet because I needed surgery for my umbilical hernia. After almost 2 weeks I’ve almost forgotten that I had hernia surgery.

I recently had my gallbladder removed by Dr. Modanlou. He is very thorough with his information and actually seems like he cares about his patients. He remembered me throughout all my appointments up until after my surgery for my checkup. I felt very well taken care of! :) Definitely recommend.

Dr M & whole team were great. Highly recommend Dr. M (& his robot) if you need gallbladder removal! My story: Met Dr. M in hospital where he advised NOT to operate at that time due to my other complications. Yea, a surgeon who said “don’t operate”. I followed up with Dr. M later. Had some concerns about the robot. He clearly explained procedure, risks & expectations. He did this himself - not a nurse or staff person. Personal attn really helped my wife & I get comfortable. His team helped us understand costs & what would be our portion. Very transparent. Procedure @ Swedish was super smooth. Recovery has been seamless. This is Healthcare as it should be.

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Modanlou. I actually chose him based on all of the positive reviews on Health Grades and Google. When I first met with him, he was very personable, answered all of my questions, and re-assured me about the surgery by sharing some facts about his extensive experience with the procedure I needed. I felt comfortable proceeding with the surgery, and I'm very glad I did. The procedure went well. He was very communicative with both me and my wife the day of the surgery. After the surgery, he described to my wife the work he performed and the outcome of the surgery in terms that were understandable and practical. He again answered all of my questions at my post-op visit in a very genuine, knowledgeable, and relatable way. Lastly, his office team was very easy to work with and was able to accommodate my request for surgery on a specific date. They were pleasant and happy to help.

Dr. Kian Modanlou has performed two surgeries on me, 2.5 months between the two: Inguinal Hernia Repair–Bilateral and Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). He and his staff are very professional and listen to your questions and concerns. I highly recommend to anyone going under the robot, that Dr Modanlou is at the controls.

Dr. Modanlou removed my gallbladder recently in an emergency situation. He talked with me before the surgery to let me know exactly what he would be doing and to assure me all would be well. And it was! I just completed my follow-up visit with Dr. Modanlou and was able to tell him that my recovery has been steady and without trouble.

Dr Modanlou performed my surgery 2 weeks ago, and the experience was really great. We met on a Monday to discuss my issue (hernia), and he was able to do the surgery on Friday of that week! No issues, took very little pain meds after, and our post-op meeting was quick and easy. If you are looking for a Dr who has it all going on, he is the one.

Dr. Modanlou performed a cholecystectomy to remove my gall bladder. The office made an appointment with me soon after I was referred to him. He explained the surgery and what to expect afterwards and answered all my questions and put me at ease. The surgery went very well. Post-surgery pain was minimal. It was only necessary to take OTC pain medication for 48 hours after surgery. Pain from the incisions was minimal and occurred only when I stood up. I could walk for exercise the day after surgery. I had no pain at all when standing up within about 12 days after surgery. I had no indigestion or any of the other symptoms of post cholecystectomy syndrome. My surgery and recovery could not have gone much better. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones, but I think it was mainly due to Dr. Modanlou being an excellent surgeon.

Luckily, Dr. Modanlou was available and performed my appendectomy perfectly. I was discharged from the PACU (didn't stay one night in the hospital) and was back to work in 3 days. He used the state of the art advances in medicine to perform the surgery. I had hardly any post operative pain. Dr. Modanlou is one of the best surgeons in this state/region and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services. Robert Moghim, M.D.

Dr. Modanlou used state-of-the-art procedures in my surgery, leading to minimal pain and recovery time but ensuring a successful outcome.

Dr Modanlou saved my life! Accurate diagnosis from the very start. He has great bed side manor, is kind, professional and speaks on your level. So very grateful Dr Modanlou was on call when I was rushed to the ER with what ended up as a ruptured appendix. Dr Modanlou then removed my appendix a few weeks later. I would highly recommend Dr Modanlou. Thank you again for saving my life.

Dr. Modanlou and the staff at Swedish Hospital completed my hernia surgery as easy and pleasant as possible. The guidance provided pre surgery as well as the consideration during and following the procedure, gave a comforting sense of being surrounded by the most competent health care professionals. From the onset, Dr. Modanlou’ s description of the proposed surgery was thorough from start to finish. The doctor visited me before surgery to check in on my status and if I had any concerns. The post-surgery information was also very beneficial and provided explanations as to what to expect and the steps towards a complete recovery. I highly recommend the team at Swedish Hospital for your surgery needs, from Dr. Modanlou, to Judy and Liam the anesthesiologists and of course the wonderful nurses that looked after me as well. A success all around!

Dr. Modanlou saved my life. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and he performed a 10 and a half hour surgery (Whipple) on me to get rid of the mass. This was a very scary time for me as you can imagine and I am ONLY willing to see Dr. Modanlou. He was incredible in every way - compassion, brilliance, robotics surgery, the list is endless. I highly recommend Dr. Modanlou for any surgery. He walks on water for me. Shawn Feaster Johnson

I recently had a robotic laparoscopic bilateral hernia repair performed by Dr. Modanlou and I would highly recommend him. He is meticulous, detail oriented and honest. Dr. Modanlou took his time to explain the procedure and recovery to me; at my initial consult, on surgery day and again at my post-op appointment. He is highly skilled, kind, compassionate and has a great bedside manner. All the things you really want in a surgeon!

Overall my experience with Dr Modanlou and his staff was extremely favorable. My initial appointment to discuss gall bladder surgery was informative and comforting. Dr Modanlou explained in detail the various steps of the surgery ahead of time which was extremely reassuring. My recovery time after surgery went very well which I attributed to his pain management approach. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen was all I needed to relieve the pain. I was extremely grateful to have an expert physician in my network and would highly recommend him to any prospective patients.

Had hernia surgery with another doctor 1 1/2 years ago. Had to have another one and the experience with Dr. Modanlou was light years better. His up-to-date technique had less sideeffects and recovery time. Definitely recommend.

Dr. Modanlou is an outstanding Surgeon. I had a hernia repair using Robotic surgery. I feel great! He was professional, personal and very detailed before and after my surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Modanlou.

I had hernia surgery 1 1/2 years ago with another doctor. Then realized I had a couple more hernias and had surgery with Dr. Modanlou. This surgery experience was light years better than my first. The recovery from his more up-to-date style of surgery was waaaay better than my first experience. Less side effects and much quicker recovery. He also has a calm, reasonable approach. Definitely recommend.

The night before, I had a terrible pain in my abdomen. Then that morning, I was rushed to Rose Hospital and shortly after, was in the operating room getting my appendix removed. The worst part was that I was in the hospital for an emergency surgery during the COVID epidemic. And I was so fortunate to have Dr. Kian Modanlou running my surgery. Among other things, his team kept my wife completely informed since she was unable to wait for me in the hospital. Before the anesthesiologist put me under, Dr. Modanlou sat with me, explained the procedure, and really took his time to listen to my concerns. My follow up with him two weeks after was no exception. I have been extremely comfortable throughout the process. And my recovery has been seamless.

My surgery was very complicated, Dr. Modanlou had to remove part of my liver, gallbladder, part of my colon and part of my small intestine to remove a fairly large Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). I believe the surgery was more complicated than originally thought, I was fortunate to be in the care of Dr. Modanlou, he realized how complicated it would be but decided to proceed anyway. He spent 5 hours to carefully remove the tumor intact and making sure he had enough margin. My office visits were very informative, he explained the procedure and what I should expect after the surgery in easy to understand terms and welcomed my questions. In all my discussions with Dr. Modanlou, I never felt rushed or hesitant to ask any questions, he treated me kindness and made sure I knew I was an equal partner in my care. I have had nothing but expert care since my diagnosis and I appreciate Dr. Modanlou and his experienced, compassionate care to remove the tumor and prolong my life.

My surgery was very complicated, Dr. Kian Modanlou had to remove part of my liver, gallbladder, part of my colon and two sections of my small intestine to remove a fairly large (7 cm) Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). I believe the surgery was more complicated than originally thought, I was fortunate to be in the care of Dr. Modanlou, he realized how complicated it would be but decided to proceed anyway. He spent 5 hours to carefully remove the tumor intact and making sure he had enough margin. I also believe his decision to proceed saved me from many months of chemotherapy prior to attempting the surgery again. My pre-operation visits were very informative. Dr. Modanlou explained the procedure and what I should expect after the surgery in easy to understand terms and welcomed questions that helped me understand the entire process. He also explained that there was a multi-discipline board that met and reviewed these types of cases to ensure the course of action was the best one and to make sure all possibilities were considered. The board met on my case and wanted to first rule out colon cancer… which they did, but that gave me the confidence to know that this surgery was the correct course of action based on a team of doctors that considered all options. After the surgery, while in the hospital, he came to see my each day and discuss how I was recovering… once again he was informative and answered all my question. In all my discussions with Dr. Modanlou, I never felt rushed or hesitant to ask any questions, he treated me kindness and made sure I knew I was an equal partner in my care. I have had nothing but expert care since my diagnosis and I appreciate Dr. Modanlou and his experienced, compassionate care to remove the tumor and prolong my life. I will forever be grateful! Steve

Dr. Modanlou took excellent care of me! I had an appendectomy and found him to be kind, very reassuring and responsive to my questions. I am recovering very well.

Great experience with my recent surgery, from initial visits through surgery to a final follow-up. Keeps you informed on every step of the process and the office staff is great to work with too. Thanks!

My complex 3 hour inguinal hernia repair surgery was effective and pain free. I didn't even need an ibuprofen after I left the operating room at Sky Ridge. Dr. Modanlou and the team are terrific.

Although my femorial hernia was a straight forward procedure, it was scary to face surgery. Dr Modanlou took his time talking me through all the pros/cons of surgery. My only suggestion is to have a handout or something for patience on what to expect after a procedure in the event they (like me) get overwhelmed with information and need something to reference while at home recovering.

This is one of the most experienced and thoughtful surgeons I've ever known. Dr. Modanlou performed a hernia repair on me and I barely noticed! He is over qualified with his background is in abdominal transplant (the toughest area of all of medicine). As a physician myself, I trusted my care in his hands and wouldn't go to any one else in the metro area. R. Moghim This is one of the most experienced and thoughtful surgeons I've ever known.

Thanksgiving 2018 was not pleasant. The next morning I went right to the ER and, lucky for me, Dr. Modanlou was the surgeon on call. He was terrific; calming, easy to talk to, and explained all my options for appendicitis. I didn't know you could get this at age 67. We got to Rose Medical Center at 7:30am and the operation was started by 10:30am. I was walking 2 - 4 miles at 3 weeks after laproscopic procedure. It is now 5 weeks and I am ready to golf. Dr. Modanlou was just as pleasant at followup visit as he was in the hospital. I highly recommend him! Thanksgiving 2018 was not pleasant.

My wife had a Whipple procedure performed in February 2019. We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Modanlou. He did excellent job explaining what the procedure was and took all the time we needed to answer our many questions. Glad to say everything went very well and she is well on her way to a full recovery! We would highly recommend Dr. Modanlou.
