I’d say thank you to Dr. Lakhiani this experience Ive been going through is definitely a wild one but he had made this process so much easier and did an amazing job with my graft.
He is a great Dr. Excellent surgeon and bedside manner. Always answers all your questions . and he takes his time. He never rushes.
Dr.Lakhiani has been nothing but amazing. From our first experience at the hospital to months down the road at appointments. He is the most caring doctor, and is extremely thorough in our appointments. We would 100% recommend him to any person!
From the initial phone call making my appointment I was treated with kindness and respect. The staff is friendly and so helpful. The office is kept meticulous and follows all COVID protocol. My initial consult with Dr Lakhiani I was immediately put at ease. I had a very large hernia, as a result of a ruptured colon and colostomy, that desperately needed repair. He worked along side Dr Borao who did the actual hernia repair and Dr Lakaiani reinforced it with BARS procedure. The office was on top of everything I needed to have done, test wise, as well as contact with my insurance getting everything approved. The procedure was done at Monmouth Medical Center, which is a wonderful facility. I got the greatest care there too. During my 4 day stay, a doctor from each office was sure to visit and check my progress. I am now 3 weeks post op and have seen Dr Lakhiani each week. He spends the time I need to have any questions answered. You can tell he truly cares about his patients. I can’t say enough about my experience from start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Lakaiani and his staff. You will be in the best hands.
Dr. Lakhiani was superb. My elderly dad had to get skin cancer removed and Dr. Lakhiani was patient and very kind with him every step of the way.
