Patient Reviews
Oct 30, 2024
Dr. Kanama was a life saver for my hubby. My hubby was rushed to the ER and Kanama became his surgeon. He laid out the plan, we asked questions, and he was confident in his plan and executed it perfectly. He removed 2 ft of intestines and the right side of his colon, due to a softball sized abscess in his stomach. He was able to put him back together without a bag. He was truly a blessing for us!
