Dr kaouk helped develop robotic prostate and kidney surgery and got one of the largest experience in the field having done more than 1000 cases. most referrals come from patients as his results are some the best reported in the country
It is a shame to have the same person put incorrect negative reviews pretending it is from multiple patients.
I came from out of state to Dr Kaouk who saved me from dialysis. i had a large kidney tumors and other doctors wanted to remove all the kidney. Dr K...

Kaouk was the donor doctor during my son's kidney transplant. He ripped the kidney out of the donor, injured her leaving her with muti-located lymphocele leaks and additional surgery. The result was that she is full of mesh and has lost her ability to have children. He then left her after the surgery to get another doctor, and denied everything. He still continues to injure people at the Cleveland Clinic. I have had e-mails, so I know this as fact. We have a video of the surgery and medical rec...

Dr Kaouk left me permanently injured and disabled from my minimally invasive surgery. In violation of my consent he allowed unsupervised residents to do much, if not all of my surgery. He telephoned my wife after my surgery reporting "getting stuck and having trouble" providing no details and never met with her or me after the surgery. Other patients report devastating outcomes, some critically injured. at www.kidneytransplantkiller.com and http:/www.vitals.com/terms?next=doctors%2FDr_Jihad_Kao...

If you suffered permanent injuries or negative outcomes, as I and many others have, please contact injuredbykaouk@hotmail.com

After reading the previous entry, I feel compelled to respond. In February of 2007, Dr. Kaouk told me that he had performed "2000" prostatectomies. In fact he had performed less than 400 robotic prostatectomies. He claimed a 98% preservation of continence and to maintain potency. While performing my prostatectomy he perforated my small intestine and did not take me back to surgery until 48 hours later. By then I was in septic shock, kidney failure, congestive heart failure and was not expected t...

UNDER INVESTIGATION -- Jihad Kaouk is currently under investigation by the state medical board of Ohio. He was denied a medical license in IA and, after 19 years, has not attained board certification. Outcomes by many of his surgical patients resulted in severe and permanent, even life threatening injuries. His credentials are suspect including his medical degree from American University of Beirut, unaccredited at the time of his attendance. He has permanently injured many patients with several ...

I brought my father to Cleveland Clinic in September of 2017 to see Dr Kaouk and discuss laparoscopic surgery to remove his kidney cancer. He was very optimistic when we first met with him and said he could do the procedure and my father would be up and walking the day after surgery. He explained a team approach, and that my father would have to meet with an oncologist and cardiologist at Cleveland Clinic. The Cardiologist approved my father for surgery and a biopsy. And the Oncologist ordered additional tests. After 2 months and 4 visits to Cleveland Clinic from Atlanta, we were told that Dr Kaouk, who we were scheduled to see on November 28th, 2017, would be unavailable and in surgery. A doctor in residency would meet with us instead. Dr Kaouk refused to even talk to us on the phone and had the resident tell us he would not do the surgery because of my father's age. I'm not sure why we weren't told that in the beginning, before all of the time and expense of the trips to Cleveland from Atlanta, Ga. Dr Kaouk's assistant, Traci, is one of the rudest people I have ever talked to. When I tried to schedule follow up appointments by phone, I was told she was too busy and she would hang up on me or put me on a never ending hold. I am extremely disappointed that Dr Kaouk did not have the common courtesy to return our calls or meet with us in person to give us his decision about surgery. My father is devastated, as he had canceled the planned surgery scheduled for September in Dayton with his Urologist, so that Dr Kaouk could do the procedure. He is now left with very few options.
