Pokala R Kiran

Trusted him because he had done a good job a few years ago but last surgery he mutilated me, made a mess of a brilliant procedure that his own surgical mentor created for me many years ago. Most of his valuable staff has quit, including two fantastic specialized nurses. I am in agony now and would advise all to seek care elsewhere.

Dr Kiran is a life saver. I had a issue with my BCIR valves and a hernia. What he uncovered would smooth all the icing on the cake. The surgeon who did my past surgeries for the BCIR had not only left me with proliferated valves and a hernia but tons of adhesions and scar tissue and a leaking fistula. Needless to say Dr. Kiran wasn’t able to save the canal to the BCIR but with his expertise was able to save the pouch and covert me to a K pouch. What a wonderful save and his talent I’m impressed with. He saved my life and I’m great full for him. I recommend him to all with valve issues as he is a very talented surgeon.

He saved my life with the KPouch.

Dr Kiran, performed a serious surgery on my wife, removal of a fistula that did not go so well he kept avoiding my wife after surgery and sending his team in all the time to speak to my wife and we kept getting conflicting stories, Dr Kiran never showed up to speak to me or my wife or give her any direction from that point they sent my wife To another hospital where she stayed for eight months under the care of different doctors, it was a terrible experience with Columbia Presbyterian hospital and Dr Kiran, and from my understanding which was just told to me yesterday Dr Kiran He still is performing surgeries that are not turning out so well, Columbia Presbyterian really needs to take a good look at his end results that he does not follow through and leaves his patients in bad shape, Please stay away from Dr. Kiran!!

Dr Kiran is brilliant cares for his patients he’s has hands of gold he saved my life!! I trust him 100%

I have a Kock pouch, created in 1972 at Mayo. I was the seventh person in the US to have this revision from a Brook ileostomy. My search for knowledgeable, skilled doctors has been a challenge. Very few surgeons and gastro physicians are available, to those of us who need them at his time. Few were trained in this specialty, it’s not as revenue generating as other specialties. Dr. Kiran has proved to be experienced and accomplished with my intestinal and pouch issues. Those of us who have had this lifesaving procedure have almost no choices with selecting a highly skilled surgeon. Dr. Kiran has not operated on me yet, but has done a number of procedures. I have a great deal of confidence he has the knowledge, skills and experience to give me the best possible care. I’ve met with many surgeons who claim to have extensive surgical pouch experience, as of yet, I haven’t met any who give me feeling of confidence (in them) as Dr. Kiran does.

He is acting nice, but after months till I went thru my procedure I got to know that he is acting nice but like a sales person, He screwed me, did a real bad job and did big damage which can not be repaired, He tried to cover up with all kinds of lies and smiles to make me feel crazy and stupid. other Dr's told me that this damage is reckless behavior and people's health is not his priority. Stay away from him

He is an amazing knowledgeable doctor who cares tremendously for his patients. He saved my life by getting me into surgery for colon cancer ASAP and his phenomonal care post surgery as well. He is thorough and precise with his work. I recommended him to two other people I know from work who needed him for similar diagnosis. They raved about him as well. He is an absolute expert in this field. The few minute wait is nothing and absolutely worth every second to listen to this pro. His office persona/staff are very accommodating, helpful, caring, and pleasant to work with. He listens to you and reviews all of your tests thoroughly, your health history and family health history.

Great doctor, compassionate and caring. Dr Kiran and his office were excellent from the time we called to make an appointment at the recommendation of my gastroenterologist. Dr Kiran took the time to listen to me which few doctors had done before, He was undertake my major sugery effortlessly when others were hesitant to take this on and I had a very smooth postoperative recovery. I cannot thank Dr Kiran enough!

My first experience with Dr. Pokala Kiran was surely my last. Going in for Colon & Rectal Surgery is an already embarrassing and overwhelming experience. Dr. Kiran was determined to make it, not only an increasingly embarrassing assessment, but managed to make me more confused after. He continued to talk down to me, treated me less than, and refused to spend time and answer my questions. At one point he said "That's a question for your PCP." My advice is go find a doctor with more compassion.
